Nice HA and eye contact. Exposure looks good and you have a nice BG. You so often hear these birds, but they are hard to pick out in the trees.
-
I like the look-back pose and soft light and would sharpen the bird a bit more. Maybe a slightly wider crop?
-
Thanks for the feedback Axel and Julie. Does this look better?
-
The sharpness looks very good now. I might crop a bit off the left to get the bird out of the center.
BTW, vertical images shouldn't be larger than 800 pixels.

Oops, I cropped 1024 width instead of 768 on that one. Sorry. Here is the tweak.

This one looks quite good. If it were mine, I might give it a bit more room top and bottom but like it as is.
