    Beautiful pose and colors. I would move the bird to the left to make it less centered.
    I would also remove the flash-generated catchlight.

    This is a beautiful capture and Luis has made some important suggestions to make it even better...Where did you take this picture? Is it a setup?

    I agree with Luis. Along with moving to left, I'd also move it a bit down. With the bird pointing to the right and up, more space in those directions will create a better comp.

    colors, pose, exposure, bokeh, perch....well done on all counts.

    Ditto Luis' suggestions. Lovely bird, great B and perch and the pose is awesome.
