Nice one!
Nice light, great pose and head angle with a lovely perch and BG.

For my taste, might like to see the bird a bit more to the right
(as above or something in between).
Also appears to be a tad oversharpened on my monitor.

I like the detail. Sharpening on my monitor looks good. I think you did a good job of holding the whites while getting good black detail.

I like it.
I have shot the Carolina many times here but have not captured it as well as this.
Although centered the included entire twig gives it a reason.
The texture of the twig helps the feeling of the image.
Oh well Ill keep trying !

I agree that the texture of the twig stands out nicely against that BG. Sharpness looks good to me as well, congrats!
