I like the pose (perfect HA!), colours, light, composition. I could do without the OOF stuff in lower right corner but nice overall. I get the impression that adding some more sharpening to the area of the head above and behind the eye would be good.

nice image, the details look nice, i agree with Daniel on some added sharpening on the area behind the beak
you have got nice colours in the frame, looks good

I like this but wish you had bumped up your ISO to get more DOF. I think the head sharpness issie is more likely due to lack of DOF.
I really like the colors in the BG and feel that it compliments the bird very nicely.
I like the partially raised wing and HA.

I see the softness on the head, everywhere else has good detail. The perch is very nice and I would like to see more of it.

Yes, The head is not as sharp as it must be.
Here is the reason

I should've closed the aperture to 6.3.
