    Perfectly exposed, and very sharp as posted. Quite an appealing pose too and a great BG. Ideally the OOF cattail behind the tail and the other two light twigs would not be there. Also, some the yellows are clipped...bringing down the yellow channel's saturation just a tad would put this in check. Here's an interesting thread dealing with such yellows:

    Overall I like the quality of this image...well done!

    Nicely exposed and detailed. BG really makes him pop.

    I reduced the saturation of yellow a bit.

    I really like the pose of the bird here, and the detail looks great.
