Very nice. Good sharpness and pose. I like the background it works well with the light colored bird.

very nice, The backround feels a bit noisy, but that might just be me. Also, the head is over sharpened, there is a halo around it. What sharpening did you use?

Dvir, have you checked the photo on Flickr (full size)? I believe the sharpening issue you refer in the head is due the resize for the forum. Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, it seems the forum did something to the image as it looks fine in Flicker.
