Well focused and a pleasant pose I would suggest lowering the exposure a little. I think you can get more detail in the chest /throat.

Great capture of this songster. Nice and sharp, and the barbed wire perch works for me. Lovely shade of green BG.

Hi Jonathan, thank you for viewing and commenting. Here is an edit and repost. I lowered the exposure and revisited the sharpening.

Hi Geoffrey, than you for viewing and commenting. The green background is a grassy cow pasture that is behind the barbed wire fence.

Much prefer the repost Joe!

I love that kind of background. Really sets the bird off nicely. Exposure on the original image is fine to my eyes. The repost is too dark and the whites of the chest and belly have turned gray which is not what you want to happen. Perhaps you could add a little extra sharpening to the original and a better head angle would have been more ideal as well.
