Audio played. Cloned extra catchlight, some food hanging off the beak and evicted a couple super bright spots on the mullein.

A fine shot, I quite like as presented but for me just a little bright and yellow, I took to PSCC, lowered exposure buy about 1/3 stop checked highlights and lowered colour temp a little and the image really popped.

Beautiful color and details. Would also make a great vertical. TFS

David, thanks for the comments. Vertical would also probably be nice.
Jon, thanks much for the feedback! TBH, I sampled many different gray points and in fact, have 15 different versions with different WB, crazy as it sounds :-/ This o.p. seemed to have the most life. However, here is a version with some slight edits for perspective.
Hi Brian ... lovely clean shot of this species , as the others has been .
Love the fine rendered details , nice work .
This image offers a lot of options and room for various variants , in terms of color .
Personally I would go darker and cooler in the BG and keep bird and perch as they are in the OP .... as a possible option .
Just my thinking about this fine shot

That green background. Love it. Detail looks great. Framing is bang on for me.
