Nice pose, perch and background. You might want to sharpen the head a little more.

I really enjoy how stylized your backyard images are. They all seem to have this dark forest under canopy look to them, and it's very nice. One idea here would be to back off the sharpening on the perch...this will help the subject to appear sharper...though I think it's plenty sharp as is...it just appears less sharp compared to all the details of the perch...

I like the perch, pose, dark BG and composition. Good suggestion by Shawn regarding the perch. Well done Joel.
