Amazing detail! could you try a vertical crop? that would remove the vine to the left...

Some would also try to clone out the oof branch near the bird's feet..

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Eye contact and sharpness look good. The uneven harsh light hurt the image, though. I would put the bird further to the left so that he looks into the frame.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

What a lovely species and the exposure is excellent . I agree with the above comments and would like to see the bird moved more to the left. Many thanks for sharing.

[Matthew Gaige]

So many "unplanned" shots have the same issue of high-contrasting light. I thought that even under this situation the image turned out well.

Ram, sharpness is very good. The light here hurts the image a lot. I agree with Axel on comp.
