Classic pose perfectly executed; even the head angle works. The focus is precise and the bird looks tack sharp.
The colors are restricted to a variety of warm hues that is very pleasing.
The eye is so dark that it reads as black. Is the eye really that dark? If there were a hint of tonal variation in the eye I think the bird would seem more "alive".
The background is very pleasing with the exception of one yellow-green area just above the base of the tail. It seems out-of-character.

Mohammad:
Good comments from Henry. I too was struck by the excellent pose and colors.
I might be tempted to crop a sliver off the top.
Well done.
Cheers

Excellent. I love the background colours and tones. If I am to be highly critical I might say your image is just on the border of the bird being over sharpened but that is a matter of taste and there may be a bit of abrupt loss of detail in a piece of the finer vegetation which may be a result of NR. It still remains a superb image.
BTW I spent several days this year trying to nail Whinchat without success, and if I was successful, it would not have come close to being as good as this.

Nicely done, I think the background adds to the whole, great shot.
