Nice details on the bird with a pleasing background. I'd crop this to more of a square format as it feels like there is too much room at the top creating a very centered composition.
Very sharp with an excellent EXP as expected. Love the HA and the bit of seed in the bill. Light angle also right-on.
The foreground leaf is a big distraction and the comments on the COMP are right on. This type of image can be extremely awkward and the extra room above does not help things.
