Stunning image with fine detail and great color. I might take a bit off the left just to move the subject a little off center.

Nice light on the bird, with great color, bg; terrific timing.

Nice landing pose. Beautiful colors and exposed well. A little head turn would have made a nice shot even better. Good Work.

Very nice Nico!
I like all the repeating triangular shapes created by the wings, tail, branches and leaves.
Beautiful BG with nice shades of green.
I do believe this is the first time a I have seen the "soles" of a birds feet quite so well!!
Great wing spread and nice and sharp.
My only wish is that the upper most branch on the left was not intersecting the wing.
I would place bird off center by adding canvas on the right to keep the berries and leaves,

Hi Nico, well timed for the incoming perching, as these guys are extremely quick. I like how the top of the wings follow the line of the perch, and the colours on the BE look spot on.

Excellent landing pose Nico. I like the perch but agree with comment on upper LHS branch intersecting wing. Love those feet TFS :cheers:
