This is a very nice and natural look at this species; it's exactly how I seem them when I'm birdwatching. Detail on the bird is good, and the two-toned BG works well with the wider framing. The perch is busy but not awful. It might be a bit more workable if not for the out-of-focus bit down and right of bird. You could clone out the leftmost sprig to streamline the perch a bit. I do like the detailed view of the gripping feet though.
