Interesting picture I like the unique subject and the portrait look. Note the light does not fill the face and catches the neck area. This emphases that area not the face which is fine but not where the action is IMO. When shooting a portrait the face needs to be the main point of focus with eyes and facial features highlighted. Remember, you are not photographing the subject you are capturing the light. With the bright background and strong light this probably drove your meter crazy. The opportunity here is softer light, better HA and show us the subject's face,..show us the eye. Amazing things happen with a well lit eye and face - keep em coming.
ps,... like the ISO and aperture settings.
pss,..work the subject that red eye area and huge bill are amazing consider a tighter shoot on these feathers too.
