    Very nice setting and BG. If you have I would give it more room all around.

    Wonderful detail and expression and the background is an excellent canvas.

    It seems to me that the back and tail has a bit of fall off in sharpness and a tiny amount of increased DOF would help, but this is a minor point I agree with Axel's comment but you would then be losing detail in the subject, so its tough to pick your tradeoff..

    Well done, Arsdel, just a bit more room as noted above.

    This is a lovely shot, the detail in the feathers is really great. As said a bit more room left and bottom

    Well done :)

    I like it a lot !!!! Not sure than any extra dof would help on the tail At that range is very limited Just the little room but do like the image as presented very much !!!!!

    Hello,

    I would add more room all around the image. I would also add a little more sharpening and push the colors a little more!

    Arsdel, a nice setting as noted above and the room around the bird, is ok with me, but wondering if cloudy conditions, why choose an ISO of 200?

    Upping the ISO a stop or two, and you would have be able to up your shutter speed and/or aperture for more detail and sharpness throughout. At 1/30 there appears to be some slight evidence of blur from movement, (looks like it was perhaps left to right).

    Also, selectively applying a mild S curve to a Curves Adjustment Layer, would really help this to pop further.
