Hi Jon, I am really loving this, cracking detail, killer backdrop and the cobweb is a nice touch and oooh, ISO5000, Canon does have something over the Olympus. 
I don't think the hidden feet is an issue, but some may wish they were visible. These birds are really punchy, you can afford just to tweak them a bit more especially the Orange (looks bit cool), but not via HSL or Selective because they can start to bleed and so you get loss of that fine detail. My only wish and this I think is you 'Achilles', the crop, you need more, not a huge amount (going from 1200 - 1300px) but it's just too tight and a very easy fix.

Thanks Steve, Andreas, Volkan, I will take another look at giving a little selective boosting "but not via HSL or Selective" not exactly sure but I'll persevere, a couple of things spring to mind.

Jon, killer detail. I did not know you had a 1DX?
Just a fantastic image in all regards. The colors are wonderful, the looking back dorsal pose rocks and I even like the detail of the small spider web going across the chin.
Would have maybe been nice with the stem of the perch being a little more parallel but not a big deal for me. As a small wish, I could see a version with everything just a touch higher in frame but I'd love this one.
Well done!

Hi Jon, nice work, beautiful bird nicely processed. My only wish would have been for a smaller perch and the feet showing, but the bird controls and chooses the perch. Thank you for sharing.
