I really like this image. The bird and perch look wonderful, the splash of color in the background compliments the bird. Nice image, thank you for sharing.

Jim:
Very soft light , nicely angled perch, well exposed, crest.
The colored branches in the background are an interesting element as they harmonize well with her colors, esp. the tail.
I might very gently soften the edges/contrast of the one by her left shoulder. It is only noticeable because it is so close to her head, which draws our attention.
Cheers

Nice cold looking winter image...

This looks very appealing. I love the snow reflecting light off the ground up onto the bird. Nicely raised red crest feathers too.

I like the pose, head turn and the complimentary BG colors. Nice frame!

Lovely frame Jim!
Pose is attractive, nice dof and I like that the perch is perpendicular to the lens (and in focus).
Agreed that the touch of magenta and pink in the bkg compliment very nicely. If you're not a purist, blending the edges on those could really help.
Processed nicely, great frame from me!

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. I like the idea regarding the blending of the OOF branches. Sorry for the slow response.
