Like the color and pose. Very nice background but looks like it needs some NR. The back looks sharp but the face looks a little soft.

Angle, raised crest and soft light look good. Some parts of the BG look noisy and the left part of the perch is somewhat blurry. I would give it more room at the bottom.
