The dorsal view with the look back is fabulous! Great details on the bird.
I assume you ran denoise on the bird @ ISO 2000? One thing I share frequently but believe highly in is brushing the blacks after DN down to a copy of the bkg layer. It just over-saturates blacks IMO.
I do like the repost, and would have left the lower right branch.
Very nicely done, can't wait for more with the R5 from you!
