Another nice one. Details and pose from the bird look nice. I think a tad less contrast could help. My only nit is that I wish the top pine cone looking bit of the perch was just slightly more in focus. I guess could have gone more DOF, but I'm not sure how much it would have helped and I'm not sure if diffraction would occur. Also could clone out the second catchlight but no big deal either way.

Nice pose on the bird here good background as well nice and sharp.

This looks really good to me Jon. For my taste the contrast is good as-is, producing good detail in whites and blacks, and rich color.
Really nice image... only minor nit from me is it feels like too much negative space above the bird. :-)

I'm just going to agree with Kirk on his comments… very nice.

Contrast looks great to me and you have a great pose on the bird. I would do something different with this image. I would clone out the lowest branch that intersects the tail. Then would move the bird left in the frame and give some more room to the right.
