I am interested in your thoughts for improvement, particularly the background, but generally as well.

WOW Jim the bird is incredible. In the large version the BG looks kind of noisy. Perhaps some sort of filtering to soften that but really it's only a minor nit.

Terrific as posted. I enjoy this species from the back as you have taken it - wonderful patterns and so different from the obvious bright yellow belly. I have no issue with the minimal noise in the BG here.

Very nice detail here. BG does not bother me but if you are so inclined you could perhaps clone out the brighter horizontal vegetation directly above the birds head.
