This is super Louis. What a great bird! For me the image wants for nothing save maybe a little more light around the eye. The bush perch adds a lot of interest.
Neat looking bird, and the raised creat is cool. In addition to John's remark I would also look at toning down the perch. Good framing with the leaves!
Beautiful pose with the raised crest, and I really like the framing with the diagonal perch and the leaves at both corners. The background is especially nice. Lovely capture.
Lovely pose, bird, perch, colors, and crest. From here, it looks as if the face were lightened a bit too much....

You can over-lighten blacks or darks with a Levels adjustment also. As I am the only one seeing it, I would not mention it. And yes, Alan is the set-up king--his images stand out among others.
