Very nice tree and a very nice subject.
I would probably try to minimize the catchlight as it is pretty large.
Nice BG.

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent shot with very nice soft background.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Love the textured perch and great detail on all. Nice bg too

[Robert Holguin]

Real nice shot. Wonderful perch and background. Great pose, excellent feather detail, well composed.
Well done.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Not much to add. Lovely species and clean BG, if anything, I would crop this one 3:2.
