Hi Joe .... very nice image .
Looks good all around .... if you have used NR globally , then I would reduce it in the subject .
Nice colors and good job on the whites
You did superbly at what is often an awkward distance. The head angle is perfect for bird's position and the ruffled feathers are great.
with love, arite
