I believe that this is an image that is pretty much technically perfect, is nicely designed, and has a relatively decent BKGR yet it does not do much for me--possibly because the bird is small in the frame, and possibly because of the light areas in the BKGR.

Great perch, pose and details. I would try a smaller crop.

[Alfred Forns]

Would move the bird more to the lower left corner and crop just a tad Also having the bird lined up with the darkest area in the bg does not help much !!! Do like the image !!!!

[Fabs Forns]

Would this be more in line with everyone's suggestions?

[Jim Poor]

Very nice setting. I think Fabs' crop helped a lot by loosing some of the dead space to the left. I might be tempted to go even closer on the right to get rid of the "extra" branch.

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions. I'll have to take another look at my original file.
