Like the composition as a portrait, definition in the feathers, exposure right on, and lovely smooth bg. I wondered about getting the bird to pop a bit more by increasing the contrast and increasing the sharpness some. But that may not be the effect you are looking for?

Mark:
Very nice portrait, good exposure, nice background, eye.
Just for my personal taste, the contrast and sharpness are fine.
A tiny bit of noise in the background. Being an old film guy, it doesn't bother me, but some might prefer a bit of noise reduction there.
From a comp. point, if you have it, I would add a sliver to the right side.
Cheers
Randy
Thanks for the comments. ISO 250 with mild noise reduction in LR

Well done. Agree with Randy, Contrast and detail look good to me. TFS

Striking image, agree with Randy that maybe a little more canvas on the right would work. Also agree the image could benefit from some NR, personal taste though.
Mark....excellent portrait and I liked the composition. noise is a little surprising at iso 250. Did you lighten it in post-processing? If you were close to the bird and the BG far, then a smaller aperture would have been better....both for depth-of-field and sharpness. with iso 250 and 1/1000, you had the headroom.
Looking forward to more form you.
