Excellent pose and detail in the plumage, Sandy.  The eye is wonderful.

Nice pose in habitat. I think a bit wider view would look nice if you have it.
I also might try and clone out some of the FG oof vegetation if not against your ethics.

What a beauty, Sandy. Very nice feather detail. It appears just a tad dark on my monitor.
