OK I'll be the first to stick my neck out :) An interesting bird with an almost metallic look in a great pose and I would like to see more of it. So a tighter crop, maybe vertical?

The centered comp looks OK with the bird coming straight at us, I would just prefer to see it larger in the frame. Still, good habitat depicted.

Mital, Beautiful pose and details. I think the BG is lovely and I'm glad you included it.
