Lovely pose, perch and BG, Alexander. Head turn and eye detail lovely. A little more DOF would have been nice but you were already a bit down in the shutter speed. Maybe a little NR on the BG and reduce the halo above the beak but all in all a great photo.
When the eye and face are in perfect focus and sharp a shallowish DOF does not bother me one bit. Our attention is kept where it should be. Excellent photograph, one that I agree some noise reduction on the BG would push it one step higher :-) What a beautiful species of bird this is!!
