Very well done Richard. Excellent incoming view, light angle, lovely bg, exposure and comp.
There are some repeating patterns in the bottom and right probably from the canvas addition that could easily be addressed.
On my work monitor it looks like the bird could take a bit more sharpening.
Very nice image overall.
Nicely done and I like Alan's suggestion. I think that the eye could be sharpened up a bit more.
