Beautiful bird, great pose, details, soft light, BG and perch. I cropped a bit tighter, removed some BG noise (which would look better when done in TIFF) and increased the saturation a few points. Did you sharpen the bird only or the entire image? Thanks for sharing!

Lovely background I have to say I infinately prefer the first image. In my view it is still conforming to the rule of thirds in that you have a third to the left of the bird, the bird and perch take up another third and the space to the right of the bird takes up another third. I think it needs this space where as Axel has reduced the space and I feel his crop is too tight.
Great bird, perch, pose, re-post, and a dead killer BKGR. I love it.
