Lovely colours and textures stand out sharply against the grey BG but looks a little overflashed and has a "studio" look to it. A little more room would be nice. There is something strange with the perch having some sharp and some ill-defined edges. Pose shows the crossed bill very nicely.
Great find, BG and the details look good, too. I agree that it looks a bit overflashed and the catchlight makes it look as if the light source was left of you. I would give it more room.
Wonderful pose, though a little tight? THe entire bird and perch appears to have been cut/pasted?
