It seems the forum software can't create a thumbnail retroactively. Let me know if you want me to delete the thread so that you can start from scratch. Cool pose, good light and eye contact. A larger image would be even better.
Loverly bird, pose and light. In an ideal world, the BKGR would be all green.

Lovely balance in the image. The green at the top attracts your eye, then you feast on the head and especially the wings. The wings are fantastic. Then we see the detail in the tail and the contrast against the bg there--beautiful.
I don't know about the extra space at the right. If you had room at the top and bottom a vertical crop might look nice!
Nice to see complimentating colors in the bg instead of the monotone bg's.
Congrats.
