Small crop and eliminated two small o-o-f branches.

Artie, a nice simple composition. I like the color around the eye. TFS.
Artie. I agree nice composition and the fine feather detail is good, but on my monitor the blacks have very little detail, and IMO this is a problem. Am I being too critical? regards~Bill
very nice head shot and great HA, wish to see some detail in the blacks too.

Excellent colours and pose. Ditto the blacks at the bottom. Super looking species

Beautifully sharp profile , love the eye colour and flared feathers on the neck. Arthur I am interested in aperture, any reason for f11 ?
Artie, perfect HA and composition here. Terrific eye.
Artie,
Nice Image...I like how the BG compliments the eye color...

Great sharpness and IQ. Exposure is nailed and the comp is strong. Super portrait !
Very simplistic composition, really like it.
Not so much a question about the the image, but about the bird, is it molting the grey feathers?
About the image, I really like the sharpness and colors around the eye and feathers on his crest area. I would kind of like to see a bit more of the neck, I am not sure if that is what was cropped, perhaps a shot vertical as opposed to a horizontal.
I'm always amazed at how sharp you get these images with an 800mm lens with a 1.4TC and a shutter speed of 1/250! Even a touch of vibration at this focal length would create a soft image. A little more detail in the shadows would enhance the image.
