Really nice portrait...colors look good and background is smooth and looks great. The head area...looks a little soft to me...the body feathers has good detail but falls off towards the head area.

Nice closeup! I'd crop some off the top (unless you're going for a magazine cover)! To me, the bird has the look of too much NR in DPP. NR and then sharpening are a delicate balance. I'd go back and look at it at 100% in raw and see if you could do with less NR, or if some of the NR tools in PS would be better.

PP revised Image
I have done the PP again, Raw conversion with DPP, I have reduce noise using PS 6 with neat image.

I see some improvement here -- good detail in the neck ring and whites. I wonder if the NR is still too much? I have found that DPP usually smooths things out too much for me, but I haven't used that camera. NeatImage can work wonders, but it too can give too smooth a look. Do it on a separate layer and evaluate at 100% and mask or reduce the opacity as needed.
