Nice pose. You handled the brighter BG well. On my monitor it looks a bit oversharpened.

[Laura Hughes]

She's got a great grip on that branch, the angle is not normally my favorite but it works here, and a nice look she's giving you

[John Chardine]

This is a nicely sharp image with a great head angle. The branch takes away from the bird a little. Maybe a bit cropped off the bottom would help.

I'm pretty sure this is a young male as females don't develop the dark head.

[Arthur Morris]

Nicely done. I could do without the protruding branch near the side of the breast and the branches in the lrc.. The oversharpening is most evident on the bird's breast.

ps: On second glance a healthy crop from the right would help a bunch.
