This is really great Ken. It looks very painterly. I really like the background. I know it's full frame, but it would have been nice to have a bit more room on top and on teh left. Hey, if you had had your 200-400, back then, problem solved.

Very cool portrait, Ken. Amazing to get that close. To my eye, this looks a bit oversharpened. With this nice bg, it would be easy to add canvas to take care of Jerry's nit on composition.

neat portrait Ken. Plenty of detail and a great pose.
I know you don't like fiddling too much but I would be tempted to reduce the brightness of the beak a bit as there's a little bit of glare there.
