Nice photo!!

Comments: Not much since I like it as is but since you asked:

Maybe I would have darkened the white highlights on the bird a bit more on wing and neck.
And the green yellow bg on the left is distracting, I might de emphasize it a bit with cropping or brightness adjustments or even eliminate it with PS I prefer the brown bg behind the bird but that is just personal preference.

Cool bird, never seen one before!!! Thanks for posting!!!

Thank you for the comments i will try an see if i can adjust that
