Nice capture of an interesting bird with a clean bg, JT!
Over exposed. I see cloning mark on bottom right.
Would go for a vertical crop ...

Nice capture of a great bird JT

Would crop the right hand edge off so the branch comes out of the corner, and maybe a little off the left too.
Don't have any problems with the exposure, but an S-curve dragged down slightly would work well.

Looks lovely in the soft pastel as presented but the bird is really much darker than showing on my monitor. I like the foliage and the perch you got it on.

Like the perch and BG - only thing is the crop. And I notice a possible clone out on the right side near the branch, might want to blur that out.

JT, a great subject on a great perch and a lovely BG. I too would make this a vertical.
