Beautiful capture! Great pose and sharp detail with wonderful background!
Nicely done !

Would like to see more room on the right and a bit less on the left.

Nice soft even light. I like the pose and sharpness. I would crop a bit off the left side. I would also clone out the leaf above and to the right of thr birds head.

Nice pose and beautiful sharp details. I just love the somewhat busy background because the colors are so complimentary to the bird. The curved perch works well too. Wonderful image!

The eye contact and the head´s posture are fantastic. I love the mood of the scene and the curved perch. The out of focus yellow leaf in the upper right corner is a bit distracting and I suggest to crop some room at the top of the image for a better balance. Very nice image and keep them coming
