A lovely bird I hope to see one day. A little headturn would have been nice, and I see a bit of haloing on its back. I like the lighting though.

I agree with KC's assessment of this shot Butch. I like the exposure here.

An interesting species Butch and sharpness looks good at this size. I don't mind the head position but the halo catches my eye.

Neat bird which looks plenty sharp Butch, a bit of a headturn would have been nice but they don't always cooperate.

Butch,
The bird is lovely, I like the details, the red in the tail and rump and the light in the bird's eye. I also like the setting and the subtle colors in the background. Your exposure looks fine to me and I see no noise. I would work on the halo that has been mentioned, it would improve the overall imact and quality of this image.
