Nice detailed look at the bird. Good color rendition and I like the pose with the raised leg. Nicely framed between the foreground and background. Looks as if you had some nice light.

The light really brings out the color patch on the shoulder, Ken. Nice pose, but a bit tight for my taste on the bottom and left.

I agree with Dennis about the bottom and left being tight, but I love the way you have the focal point here. That is a beautiful bird.
