Welcome, Clint
I like the mood of this one but on my monitor it may be a tad too dark. I like the straight on look that you're getting and can just see the catchlight in the eyes. This is very sharp and the details. Hand holding that lens in the light you were given....and getting a sharp image was a real feat!!! As a minor nit, you have some sharpening halos that could easily be avoided.....or removed to make this even better.
Beautiful pose and perch and I like the straight on look too as well as the lovely mood you captured here. I agree about a little more room to the right and the sharpening halos were mentioned. Very nice image.
