I think the sharpness in the face is dead right Steve, and the exposure on the blacks is even more perfect. Love the outspread wings showing the reds, and what a killer BG. Congrats, I like this a lot.
Terrific exposure on the blacks and the reds are no oversaturated, just perfect. Very sharp with an excelente light and BG. The bird is very centered but I think that you did it right with the composition (it is the best option here to put the bird on the center). :-)
Composition is fine, just far enough to the right to offset the direction of the head and the outstretched wing. Beautiful pose, details and bg, nicely done.
