Good-looking bird, I like the eye contact and the fish adds to it. I would tone down the whites on the neck, run NR on the BG and remove the spot in the lower right. I wish the perch were a bit smaller.
A colorful bird and a nice pose. The fish is a plus. I would second Axel's comments about the whites and the background. Also, there are a couple sensor dust spots in the ULC and URC that could be removed. You might consider removing what looks like a rusty nail sticking out of the post as I don't think it adds anything to the comp. :)
Loverly bird and EXP. A nice crop from the bottom would help in several ways. The big problem for me is the lack of light on the bird's face; the bird's head is angled away from the plane of the sensor.
