    Peter:

    Your bird is sharp, with good head angle, good framing, pleasant BG.

    For my tastes it could go about 1/3 stop brighter.

    Cheers

    Peter:

    I think the subtle increase in the exposure does open up the dark areas on the face enough that it looks better. You might be able to go even a smidge more, but a personal call.
