Not 100% sure here, I don't think the crop is working very well. I would like to see less of the bird or the the whole, it is not being helped by the bird looking slightly away from you, some nice detail there though and a good bg..
The head/eye is lovely and sharp, and the length of the bill looks surreal! It is well exposed showing good feather detail, however I would agree with Phil that the crop needs to be changed. Maybe just go for a full head crop or if this is cropped go for the whole bird.
Good to see a close-up of this very attractive species.
The composition/crop works ok for me but I'd love to see the head turned slightly more towards the camera,easier said than done though.

Hi Craig
Nice close-up - I also agree a tighter crop would work better and I also feel there is quite a bit more you could do in PS to brighten your image and give it more impact!

Nice close up, a bit soft but i agree with David: with a bit more Photoshop work you can get a lot more out of this image! Nice going!
