    Lovely light and colors on the bird. Good pose and dof.
    Maybe de-saturate the BG?

    A different pose than what I usually see. I like the hint of color on the head and gorget. Imaginative use of BG "props" but I agree that maybe reducing the saturation slightly would keep my eye on the bird.

    I'm on the fence about these BGs. They're really pretty, but they're clearly not natural as nothing is going to yield that uniform purple. Regardless, it would have been if the color extended to and through the upper right portion of the frame.

    Detail looks pretty good, but the OOF flanks are getting a bit distracting. Not much you could have done about it given you were already at ISO 6400. Your NR looks to have worked well!
