Great job showing the fine feather detail at both ends of the tonal range John. I especially like the pearlescent look of not only the blue crown but also the belly feathers. The beak profile really shows nicely the hooked tip---I've never noticed that before on these birds.

Looks good John. I like the perch and the colors look spot on. Pretty background. I would loosen the crop a little.
