    Chase, overall nice image with just a few small fixes. I would sharpen in the head beak area a little more, wish the HA was a bit more towards you.
    I would also change the crop up with more room in front and a little less below the branch. Exposure, perch, colors and BG all look nice.
    I added more on the right side of the canvas but did a quick job, notice the repeating patterns.

    Hi Chase, For selective sharpening, which I believe Tim was suggesting, select the face or the area that needs sharpening, put it on its own layer, and go to Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask and set 15, 65, 0. Call it is Contrast Mask if you would. It is a quasi type of sharpening in that when you sharped for print, the area that you "sharpened" selectively will not appear over-sharpened!

    Learn more about Contrast Masks, making selections, and my complete Digital Workflow in Digital Basics II here.
