Perfect exposure! He is really tight in the frame and needs some breathing room. Zooming out would also
help minimize noise in the background.

Excellent portrait of this beauty.
Nice pose, fine detail where it counts, and great eye contact.
A bit tight in the frame on the left - `but would be easy to clone in a bit more room with the Content aware tool in PS.

Thanks for both the compliments and suggestions.
Re: the latter:
Unless it’s glaringly obvious, I often don’t bother with NR for small on-line posts, evidently I’m not as discerning as I should be - easy fix from now on!
Re: the crop / zoom out suggestions - this is a slight crop; I didn’t want the big bold stump to “overpower” the bird, so I cropped as  seen; I’ll play with that.
