Light and eye contact look good. I might sharpen the bird more and wish the wings were all the way up or down.
Mark VI? You are so ahead of your time. :)
I can just imagine it having just lept from a diving board, with the pool not too far below! Nice warm light and tones throughout. Sharpness and exposure look good. The blurring looks alright too as I wouldn't have guessed it was done via post processing.
Lovely colours throughout the image, and well captured between the foliage. If anything, I would remove the foliage ULC.
Very nice job on the post-processing great light and beautiful bird. Agree on the wing position, but still very nice image. TFS.
