Wow. That's a lot of bling for a little bird. I love the pose, comp and bg. Focus point may be on the bird's flank rather than the head, but still a lovely image.

I think the focus is on the legs, the head is soft. That is a ridiculous amount of junk on that bird, I am quite sure it would rather just be left alone.
