Bob,
Nice depth of filed at only f/6.3. Nice and sharp with very good exposure. It's feeling just a tad tight along the top and bottom for me...Just a little though. He does have a very intent look about him doesn't he?

Minor nit covered but a beautiful shot. Love the feather and colour texture.

You caught a very nice display Bob. Agree that a bit more room vertically might be called for.

I agree with the comments on cropping too tight vertically- thanks for pointing this out. Will watch more closely next time. This can be fixed thankfully.

Bob:
You did a great job of capturing the detail in the many texturally different regions of this large bird. I agree that a little more room on the top and bottom would enhance the photo. I would also try to brighten the dark area of the back to bring out a little more detail. It's a wonderful display. I didn't realize the Tom had so much stuff to strut.
