Same bird as previous post. I removed a fair amount of background clutter. No sharpening was applied in post processing. No sharpening applied for posting, straight size reduction.

I much prefer this one to the previous one. I do wish for a better head angle of one or two degrees more towards us though. The large green areas behind the subject could be smoothed down too IMO. Wonderful details and nice thin perch!
