Beautiful guy and a nice setting for him. Only wish is his head was turned towards the camera a bit more.

Sometimes I like the bird looking away. This works for me as it gives a sense of contemplation. I like your comp. Maybe a bit more room on top? Overall this looks a bit dark, just a bit, not much. Overall a nice shot Geoffrey.
