I like the pose and texture in the BG, Ram. There seems to be some blurring around the crest and especially the lower foot which suggests some blurring of the BG in post - refining the masking may help this. Exposure looks good to keep detail in the whites

Really cool bird and a great BG! Tony's got good eyes, but I definitely see the same thing he did. I might also crop a bit off the top of the frame.

Good comp, pose, perch, and BG (although I would desaturate the yellow channel a bit in it). Good suggestions/observations above. I would also eliminate the OOF leaves in URC if it is within your ethics to do so.
