Hi Arsdel, I am not a fan of front view birds as one con't really know how does the bird look like, although BG looks great and sharpness is perfect too as is exposure, I would've loved more room all arround. Congratulations!

Hi Arsdel! It's a little tight in the frame, and I would selectively sharpen the crown feathers and the eye. Also, the blue in the BG draws my eye away from the bird. Thanks for posting!

I would like to see more room all around, and it seems that the focus was in the center of the image since the breast is sharper than the face and eye, Try to focus on the birds eye and then recompose. For this image, I would sharpen the head using a quick mask. The sidelight has created shadows on the left side of the bird which you can avoid by pointing your shadow at your subject.
