The bird looks great. You have good details in the feathers and I like the head angle as it give the bird some character. The out of focus leaves in the lower left hand corner bother me a little, especially the one that over laps the tail feathers. I also might try and darken/even out the lighter bit background just behind the bird.

Thanks for sharing.

The sharpness is really excellent as is the exposure on the dark feathers of the bird. The only downside for me is the OOF leaves to the LL.
