Really nice high-key result. Details in the blacks are excellent, and the singing pose is really strong. I can almost hear the bird. The thin perch gives us a nice view of the gripping feet as well. I might try to turn the BG down a bit. It's quite bright in the lower part of the frame.

Excellent pose and the blacks are great
