Manos, loved the super clean BG. Nice details in the face and bill is sharp.

DOF a little too shallow I feel. In such "bird facing the camera" pose, I dont mind tail out of DOF, but I like DOF to be good enough to render the perch and feet sharp.

The only thing I get a few meters from my house is House Finches! Nice image, although I agree with Peter on all counts. Needs a bit more DOF; shutter speed or ISO adjustment could have easily gotten you there.

Excellent image Manos. Mital repost really improves the image.

Manos, not much to add to already posted comments, except that I really like this picture.
