This is lovely.
Great BG- check
Perfect HA- check
Excellent IQ and exposure- check
I like the ruffled chest feathers . The white feathers look good too.
I would add a bit more on the top to make this more of a vertical and less boxy,

I like the perch, exposure, and the background. I'm not a huge fan of the crop, and would make this into a more typical vertical crop, and also sharpen the bird more.

Nice pose and colours. For vertical I usually crop as 8"x10" and it works most of the time.

Beautiful!! The square crop worked OK IMO, but the repost is better. I love simple image designs like this. Great pose with a perfect head angle (HA) and I dig the ruffled throat feathers. It's always best to add some sharpening for web, so good on ya to do so.

Thank you very much Daniel. These critiques mean allot to me coming from very competent wildlife photographers. Thanks for the advice on sharpening too. I was afraid that it would degrade the image but it looks unhurt.
