    Scott,

    Nice perch and clean sky BG big pluses as are a handsome bird.

    I have no idea if this would have been possible but moving right would have gotten the OOF brush in the LL out of the image and possibly a bit better position of the head and eye to you. Some fill-flash would have been helpful too to compensate for the over the shoulder light direction.

    I would try a reverse s-curve to lower contrast some.

    Nice profile with good detail in the feathers. Might consider lightening the image which should bring out more detail in the eye.

    Great detail, beautiful bird. Agree with Pieter about lightening the image, as it seems a bit dark on my monitor (MacBook Pro, non-calibrated, brightness set at maximum). I like the perch too, except for the OOF branch in the LLC, as already mentioned. I don't mind the head angle - gives the bird a pensive look.
