Beautiful bird and eye contact. Exposure control looks good and I might sharpen a tad less. You could clone out the bright spot in the upper left and remove the OOF branch. Keep them coming.
Lovely shot, Rob. Like the light, BG,colours, pose and head angle. Agree with Axel re oversharpening, bright spot and OOF branch. Looking forward to more
Just what Axel suggested !!! You got one fine image btw for the white spot removal would try some sort of quick mask to really blend the area since straight cloning will not do it !!! Excellent !!!!
Repost as requested plus some SH/H to open up the blacks.
