tom i think you need a lot lot more dof as all that is sharp is the beak and eye, unless thats how you wanted it.
A lovely bird and its a nice pose but I think it is a shame the depth of field did not extend as far as the gold flash on the wing. My guess is the light was not good and you had the lens wide open. Still a nice capture.
Agree with what Ken has said, really like that pose.
Nice shot
As always a lovely shot Tom
Lovely pose there

In saying that Tom imo because of the shallow dof my eyes were hunting around a bit just to see what was in focus, I would be tempted to adjust brightnes ,contrast or whatever was needed so as the head looks more prominent, but thats just me Still a excellent capture and a good pose
