David, looks like you were dealing with some harsh light but you got the birds exposure nice. I would suggest and 2x3 crop ratio and give the bird a bit more room on the right.
I would also remove the distracting elements in the BG (light spots and the dried hanging stuff) also tone down the mushrooms a bit if you choose.
Lovely lighting and contrast on this lady. The details on the face is very nice as well. However, perch is a bit distracting, and I can take or leave the seed. Bird is also cramped in the frame, most notably at right.
Thanks for the helpful critique. I've updated the image using the suggestions.
Just to say shooting in Central Park NYC you are dealing with a dense wooded environment and very low light.
The parameters are challenging.
