Other than a bit of background noise and a large perch, I really like.

Kim,

You do well minimizing the perch. Sharp where it needs to be sharp. Nice muted BG though I would have preferred not the have the transition on the right side to a brighter colors including the red. It grabs the eye somewhat.

Up tail nice touch.

Pretty bird. Nice alert pose with good eye contact. Agree with the above comments. I would add that I'd probably back off on the sharpening just a little.
