Excellent pose! Perfect exposure and detail in the blacks - I might darken the whites just a tad in the face and perch. They are not blown, just a bit bright.
Great eye on this fellow too - and that lovely aqua.
very well-done!

Nice composition and striking pose. I have to agree with Sandy on the lighter parts of the picture being in need of some darkening. Love the detail in thise feathers though!

greetings,

I would drop the whole shot about half a stop, the brights maybe more. But that just means you got loads of details in the shadows to work with ;)
