Really nice exposure control on the white & black.
All that green seems to have caused a bit of color cast that carries over into the black. It goes beyond the refraction from the feathers I think.
There also looks to be a little bit of halo about center in front of the breast.

Although I'm not a big fan of perching birds in the ground, I could live with this one. Great use of depth of field and good separation of the eye from the mask, the image could go a tad lighter in my opinion and the bird is placed nicely in the frame. Shame the feet are covered.

I agree with Fabs on the crop and lightening up the image.

Magpies don't seem to be posted at many forums but I do like to see them. I might have cropped this just a little tighter. I'd also echo the comments from Fabs and Robert about the brightness. It would bring out the blue on the wing a bit more if the image were lighter.

Besides other comments and critiques, I would add more sharpening to the image and maybe fill flash for the next time.

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I will try to lighten up the image a bit and see how it works.
