Lovely bird with plenty of detail. Sharp and well exposed. Not sure if you could have moved to a different angle for a cleaner BG. It's important to include your techs so we can better evaluate your work. Thanks for sharing this!
Forgot Again. I was wondering of it was over saturated?

Superb colours and sharpness - lovely looking bird. BG busy but not too bad apart from the pale curved (? OOF foreground) twig arching down and touching the outline of the back and tail.
The yellows do look a bit oversaturated; you'll probably be able to get more detail in the yellows if you selectively desaturate them. Sharpness looks good. I wish the bird had more eye contact and that the BG weren't quite so busy. Also I would add a bit of canvas on the left to get the bird out of the center of the frame.
I can relate to getting a good picture of songbirds as they seem to like to hide in trees with a lot of branches, otherwise I am sure you would have tried for a clean shot. Very pretty bird. Nice pose, and looks very sharp.
