What an unusual looking bird! The BG color is lovely. I see a fair bit of noise though, so would do another round of NR.
I would move the bird to the right of the frame.
I find the bird a bit oversharpened- the feathers look crispy.
Nice light and delicate perch.
This image has a lot of potential,

Verry good detail,perch and BG.
The comp I'm to sure may be just a small trim off the right will do it for me.
I THINK IT'S A LOVELY IMAGE.

What a fantastic bird! I love that crest. I agree that moving the bird to the right would improve the composition. And I would consider removing the branch in the lower left corner.

Awesome bird (love the crest!) and you have a nice perch for it. Good background. You needed to point your lens alot more to the left, or hoped the bird switched positions to look the other way.

Thank you all for the comments, much appreciate the suggestions. I am sorry I didn't have access to my images for the last 2 days. I have tried to tweak the image keeping all your suggestions in mind. I hope I have been able to do justice. Kindly let me know if you think there is something I can improve further.
