Very lovely capture!
A little more sharpening in just the bird will improve it. Great head angle :)
Love the pose and the look she's giving you.Agree on a bit more sharpening, and I'd dodge the catchlight a bit, add a bit more life.
I like the pose and colors. Nits already covered.
Pose and BG are very nice. Could you post some techs?
I selected all of the BG, ran NR on it. Inverted selection and sharpened using Focus Magic. Used selection for a Selective Color Adjustment Layer and slid the Black slider under Yellow to tone down the hot yellows. Then created a Saturation Adjustment Layer and pulled the Saturation back on the yellow slider only.
