Great pose and excellent sharpness. The BG compliments the bird nicely. I might add a bit of canvas to the top and bottom of the frame. I haven't seen this bird before, but I keep thinking that a slight contrast boost would help.
Nice bird and sweet BKGR. Yes to more room top and bottom. A bit less head turn would have been great. The head and back look a tad over-sharpened to me. All in all very nice.
