Lovely pose and head turn. Love the dark BKGR. Great perch. Much too contrasty. Getting rid of the branch with a Quick Mask would be fairly straightforward.

I like the pose and BG. I would clone out the OOF branch and there is posterization in the BG. The whites on the chest look borderline overexposed.

Wish it wasn't so contrasty and the tree weren't there. There's some hot spots in the chest.
