Striking pose, very sharp, well exposed. Perch isn't the most attractive but is well scaled to the bird.
From a compositional standpoint, all the negative space to the left doesn't add much for me. Because of the direction of gaze, I would want more space to the right. Easy to add canvas here with the neutral background.
Cheers

The bird looks great with a nice pose and good eye contact. I agree with Randy about both the perch and the composition. I like the placement of your copyright!

Lovely shot and it's 3 out of 3 for moving the crop. Excellent detail in all the plumage.

Neat species, and good pose. Exposure is spot on. Ditto the comp advice, and I also find the bird rather large in the frame. The fine detail looks odd in places...almost a large crop / oversharpened combination type effect. A couple of spots in lower right corner need to be eliminated.

thats a beautiful image. may be a bit more wide and bird in left as its looking way is right would be better choice. IQ is like always superb.
