Willem:
The 'toupee' is great. Excellent head angle, like the crop/framing.
wish there was a bit more DOF for the back of the head.
BG color works well with bird.
Well exposed.
Cheers

Thank you all for the comments so far.
@ Arthur,
I think too see a bit more sharpness feathers on the lower part of the bid en a bit more color nuances
-
Real nice shot. Great head angle, real nice detail, and great background.
Arthur - I see more sharpening, cleaning of the beak, and toned down the white areas in the background.

Yes to a bit of sharpening. No bill clean-up. Reduced the saturation of the blue and the pink. Smoothed the BKGR only with NR and Surface Blur at 2/3. Pulled the curve down just a bit.
