Gorgeous background, great pose, and excellent exposure and detail !
Not too sure about the crop though. Maybe a bit off the top and right
to get a more rectangular crop with bird to the right side. Might work
nicely as a vertical as well.

[Fabs Forns]

Very clean image, AJ, maybe cropping a bit off the top and right side would improve your composition.

Nice clean background, right amount of sharpening, nice all around.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great pose and BG. A vertical crop might work even better.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

I would go vertical for sure. I am not too keen on the perch though, I feel it competes for attention.

[Blake Shadle]

Very nice work. This image has the technical qualities of a good image, maybe a few adjustments aesthetically would put it over the top. Either working a vertical composition (makes for a rather large crop, IMO) or as Fabs suggested, taking some space from the right and top.
