Nice soft light, pose, and catchlight in the eye. Unfortunately the background is very distracting even though it is blurred. A crop from behind with more room in front would help to balance the comp.
Looking forward to more!
Comp suggestion from Aidan is also my suggestion...BG is silky smooth but busy and a bit bright, maybe tone it down a touch. I also think you have overdone the NR as you have now lost detail on the bird. Perch also looks overexposed. I would try tone that down as well. I hope I dont sound harsh and hope that you will find my suggestions useful:S3: TFS Arsdel
Beautiful bird & detail, Arsdel, nice pose you captured! Agree about BG being distracting, and think Aidan and Dumay make some good suggestions to make your image stronger.
The bird is simply superb. I would definitely tone down the BG as it is very distracting and take a bit more off the right and give more room in front of bird if you have it.
