    Nice BG here Stuart. I think the whites are looking a tad muddy. I would consider brightening the bird up a bit/increasing exposure on it.

    Ditto Marina, and although I love the leaves at left I'm not so fond of the ones peeking in at right edge. Beautiful BG.

    Nice shot.
    Great pose and nice background.
    Agree with Daniel on the right leaves.
    Well done.

    I like the repost -- the whites are cleaner and retained a realistic amount of tonal detail.

    Stuart, I believe it is the contrast that created that muddy look. Have you tried decreasing it a bit? Since it is against the green BG, you can decrease the contrast that will help with the muddy whites.
