The toucan looks great and sharp from eye to bill tip. Good vertical comp and very appealing colours. BG has nice greenish colours too but seem to have a few cloning artefacts (see lower right area). A bit of noise on belly and tail that would be remedied with some NR there.
Beautiful capture Stuart, I like the pose very much. You do not mention the exposure settings but I imagine poor light was an issue. A little more DOF would have been useful but you may have traded that off for a wider aperture. Regards, Ian.
Great bird and great BG.
Good advice above.
Do you have more room on the LHS? I find the tail a bit close to the edge. It looks like you cropped at the bifurcation of a branch to get rid of said branch. You could always clone out the branch to give you more room,

Beautiful bird, nicely shown. I agree with the suggestions. Thank you for sharing, Stuart.
