Kim:

Sharp, well exposed, flash use pretty subtle and has helped the throat color pop. Nice BG.

I like the framing to downplay the large perch, chin up pose, angle in frame.

Because there is a decent natural catchlight, I would be tempted to remove the flash catchlight.

Cheers

What a great bird - new to me. TFS

The image is realy showing off the throat - I think this chin up pose is great.
