Hi,
Excellent image, with good positioning of the bird, head angle, and certainly sharp for a hand-held 500mm. at 1/400sec., especially if it was windy. I like the overall rather monotone effect but with a few color highlights to draw the eye. I would prefer the bird to be a little higher up in the frame. The dark blobs to her right are a bit distracting, but I'm not sure how to blur them even more without looking artificial.

Hi Roy, good looking girl, and you have captured a good pose. You have brought out the feather detail nicely, and overall, nice and sharp. I feel its a bit tight behind the tail, so moving the duck a little more into the frame will work. The BG colour compliments the duck nicely.

Nice pose, very sharp and lots of detail. I might look at either reducing the blue a bit and/or warming it up a touch. The whites seems a bit too blue on my laptop. Very well done.

Hi Roy,
I really like the perch this lady is standing on. Good IQ and feather detail. I agree that a different crop would make this image sing. This is purely a personal opinion but I would go tighter by cropping right and top and moving the bird up in frame. You could reduce the intensity of the black blobs by doing a quick mask and reducing the blacks in the blacks in selective color or do a burn,

Thanks everyone. I can reduce the black blobs but when I saw them I didn't think they were that distracting, but what do I know.
I continually struggle with crops so thanks for the suggestions.

Beautiful portrait, great details and sharpeness.

Love the pose, light, bg and perch. Agree with moving the bird further into the frame.
Nicely done Roy.
