You're nailing these guys, Stuart. This one's just about perfect, to my eye. Good detail in the blacks, great colors, nice pose parallel to the sensor so it's sharp tip to tail. And I love the palm BG as I did in earlier shots.
A spectacular bird, wonderful background, great colors and very good pose. The yellows on the neck aren't showing a lot of detail, so easy to overexpose in that situation, but perhaps that is just the way this species is.
Really nice overall!

I have included a slight tweak with the luminosity of the yellows brought down slightly on the chest and top of bill. Not much of a change, but an option.
