Hey Ivan, this is a beautiful little bird. It reminds me of our Golden-crowned Kinglet. I looked up a little information and I see that it's actually the smallest European bird...very cool. I like the blurred background that still gives us a mix of colors and shapes to indicate natural habitat. Overall the image seems a little flat. I think I would increase the contrast...perhaps as simply as a levels adjustment where I brought in the highlights and the shadow sliders.
