Shane, sweet little bird. The composition feels unbalanced with everything on the right side and so much empty space on the left. I would rework this. That white patch still looks quite hot to me. With my Canon gear, I always have to expose for the whites and then deal with the darks in post processing.

Hi Shane
Very difficult bird to expose correctly- very dark blacks, mid tones and bright whites, depending on the ambient light.
I have seen that I can bring back details in blacks, but blown whites I can not fix
.
Bird crisp.
Nice details in mid tones.
Cheers
Andre

Indeed not easy to get this one right. You have to expose for the highlights in my opinion, but the trick is to have a nice and soft light to get the dark details out as well. That's being said you did a good job here I think. I am sure on the large size you can get all the details out of both dark and bright parts. I like the pose and the sweet clean BG as well.

I like the pose and colors, good BG. I agree the light was harsh here. with the empty space I'd also opt for a vert.

The light was not ideal, but definitely well handled. I'd either go with a vertical crop as Arash mentioned, or think about taking from the top and left. It looks like you definitely have the IQ
