the colors are pretty and perch is good too, wish the head was slightly turned towards us, sharpness is good for such a slow shutter speed. The image is severely compressed though (only 58KB?) as a result BG has become posterized/blotchy and some details are lost.

You got some great colors and feather details in this bird. The pose works for me b/c the bird is obviously preoccupied with something...probably dinner.
