Exposure handled very well, nice detail in the feathers. The head, eye and beak very sharp. The bird stands out well from the beautiful BG. TFS
Very nice blues in the BG and I would smooth out the whitish area in RLC.
I wish for a better HA. Image nice and sharp.
The sun was up for this image so you did well controlling the whites.
I see a bit of purple in the gray on the far wing but it could be my monitor.

A better head angle, and higher front wing position would have made this better, but I love the BG and details.
Looks good to me. Your standard ring bill flight frame.
Sharp with a killer sweet BKGR. The near wing needed to be fully up. And there looks to be something funky right at the front of the eye ...
with love, artie
