Pretty bird, great setting and look back pose, and good call on the DOF.
Agree with your comment about the tail almost touching the bottom.
I tend to forget in the heat of the moment in the field too, but in this case you could have pointed the lens down a tad and added to the top more easily in post. Did you get any vertical shots?
TFS.
Beautiful image a little canvas could be added without too much trouble. I like the pose and the colours but I would definitely lower the brightness of the image I appreciate it may have been bright light but I think if you lower the brightness selectively - just a small amount overall and a little more on the legs / feet it will make quite a difference.
The composition is a little central for my taste but that is a tiny personal nit, but that apart it really is a stunning image that I would be very pleased to have in my collection.

Beautiful image of a stunning bird. Rest has been said. (If it was mine I would definitely give the bird a bit more space and move him to the left. TFS
Wonderful pose and detail!! A squeak less exposure could be interesting, although I find the slightly high-key treatment intriguing.
Is the color really that pink? The sunset may have been very red, but I'd be tempted to have a look with just some slight tweaks to reds, just for comparison, to lean more to yellow and away from magenta.
