Nice close up with some fine mating colors showing. The shot is a tad dark for my taste, have you tried to lighten it up a tad in your post work?

Gorgeous colors on that birdy

A tad dark to me as well.
Does look as you have plenty of latitude for some lightening in post.

What great colors!!! Beautiful shot, but i agree with others regarding being a little dark. But it's a great capture!!

Excellent detail, exposure and comp.

Great portrait shot. I personally like the dark tones as it adds a bit of drama to the shot. Well done

Check that out!
Sweet detail and colors. Not something we get to see everyday! Nice shot.

Thanks for all the comments. I went back and lightened it a bit. I'm on a laptop and sometimes I'm not sure if I got the exposure right. Although, at least on my monitor, I'm partial to the first one.

Here's the lighter one:
