Good sharpness and wing position, Rick. Nice to have the bird angled a little toward you. Image looks a bit dark and seems to have a green cast to it. Maybe a little more room to the right for the bird to fly into. All green BG would have been a little nicer.
I agree about the need for more room around the bird, mainly on the right, and some levels adjustment to extract more light from the image. I like the Bg and light a lot. Very good job Rick
Rick, composition, there is room for improvement, with the 600mm you are either in the right place or not, but take the photo, don't cry later that you did not take the shot because of this or that, you don't have all the time in the world to take it, sort out the problems and judges likes & dislikes later, to add canvas on right is easy, I think the saturation and background excellent.
