Well exposed, I like the soft BG, grip on small twig.
The bird looks a little soft to me, and the trunk by the tail looks sharper than the area near the bird, so perhaps your focus point wasn't on the face.
I would also consider cropping from the top, the bird is too far down in the frame for the current crop, IMO.
Neat perch, wonderful BG, and a beautiful subject. Well focussed but needs additional sharpening for web. Perhaps a tad bright, and I agree the bird is too low in the frame. I'd also would have liked less of a head turn in this case. I love how she is gripping the small twig!
Do you have any more space on the bottom of this frame by any chance? If so, I would add a little to the bottom and take some off of the top and left. Additional sharpening on the bird would also be helpful. With a little tweaking would work well.

I like the pose, and the colours in the bird, but it would be nice to have light in the eye. Background is beautifu. As mentioned it is a little soft for web presentation. (One more round of sharpening after resizing)
One more Cardinal, female.
