Good solid image. Tack sharp and lots of good details but can you get a bit more out of the white area below the eye?
Love the reds in this image.

I'm a great fan of close head portraits and this one is very nice. I agree with Gail though about a bit more from the highlights on the bird. With the light almost directly behind you though, I can understand why the highlights look this way. Effective composition, great detail and colour all make this a fine image.
