Hi - Gorgeous bird - good HA and super sharp clear eye - Nice.
AS Presented I would crop some form the top - to move the birds eye closer to one of the ROT points - too much negative space up there for my tastes.
Feels a little tight on the LHS in the tail area - generally you want more room in the direction the bird is looking rather than behind - a little hard here with the composition.
The OOF area's in front of the bird may attarct a few comments - let see what everyone says.

Looking forward to more.

As stated, negative space on top is a bit much. The oof area in front is a bit bothersome. The bird itself is beautiful.

Hi Diana,
welcome back...:) I like your composition, image and capture...the color rendition on your bird is superb...the head angle and sharp eye contact is right on the money...the out of focus portion of the perch in the foreground does not bother me...I would recommend on taking 1/4 from the top of the frame, thus reducing the negative space, and placing more attention on your subject...well done...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

agree with lance and might would sacrifice a little shutter speed for more dof. i love the vibrant colors against the blue sky. very sharp!!

Hi Diana ... about time :)

Great looking bird and bg Just a little steep and having trouble with the perch Might have tried placing a 2X or stacked and gone for a head shot !!! Beautiful bird !!!

Thank you very much for your comments.
One more question, when you speak of negative space, what do you mean by it?
