Sharp with a good EXP but the two-toned BKGR bisecting the bird and the seed in the mouth are less than ideal.

Soft light with nice exposure. If you had any room to move left or right, you could have gotten a more even background. The light spot(reflection) at eye level is a bit distracting. Possibly snow, but I don't think so.
Good choice on ISO, I think if you had time, you might have gone to a smaller f stop for a bit more DOF.
Thank you for viewing and of course the advice. Was going to repost but not sure this shot needs the time. I will keep the bkg and seeds in the mouth advice to heart.
