Nicely done and excellent detail and focal clarity Ryan! I think you might find a more dynamic shot is possible if you pull in the left-side crop. Although the instinct is too leave in the focal clarity of the plumage, it costs more than it gives by weakening the overall composition . . . since the Macaw seems to be looking out of the composition. Just my opinion and something for you to consider.

Also the green on the beak and tongue are (IMO) a tad distracting and though it may have been in the original, I would selectively desaturate it to some extent since it seems to draw the eye to the color and distract from the very good clarity and definition that separates the beak from the BG.

For your consideration. Crop Example
