Nice and sharp on the bird. Lower half has a lot of distractions, perhaps getting lower might have cleared those. I might clone out the bent twig on the left as it disrupts the flow of the other three twigs. Nice color and feather detail

Nice and sharp with lovely plumage colour and details. The OF in the foreground is a distraction but unavoidable unless you could have raised your positon a little. I don't mind the OOF BG branch and teh droplets on it convey the damp mood. I would probably have worked at ISO 800 to gain a little shutter speed in the dim light.

Nice head angle and details. Adding to the other comments, I would raise the color temperature a few degrees.
