Framed very well with good eye contact. Looks a bit oversharpened to me. Maybe due to resizing it for web?

I would bring the exposure down a tad to show the black as black and not as grey.

Congrats

Cool-looking bird, interesting perch, nice BG and it doesn't look oversharpened on my monitor. I wish for a slightly better head angle and if it were mine, the OOF branch in the foreground could go. I find the frame a bit large. Keep them coming!

very well done dear. i wish a thin or no border as thats my personal choice to see birds without boundaries.
well exposed. i think a little high key image and a slight CCW rotation would balance the drongo falling down.

I like the inquisitive pose, and agree the blacks could be slighter darker. The detail is there, and stands out nicely against the lighter BG.
