Wonderful bird and BKGR, good EXP. Super on the raised crest. But the bird looking away is a huge negative.. Among other things, witht the light from the right, the face is in shadow...

Very well composed and your subject is beautiful, and you've created a great background. I have to agree about the head and light angle stealing impact from this image.
Great image. Perhaps a tad tight, and the head angle. But at least we can see the eye contact to a degree. There are also two OOF spots in the bottom right hand corner, perhaps some flowers in the distance? Just a little distracting for me. Nice bird though.
lovely details & a good BG to go with. liked the side-lighting a lot too.
just wish the head was turned a little more towards u (as others have mentioned above).
TFS.
