Arsdel:

Many nice things here, color, attractive bird.
The problem for me is the loss of almost all detail on the bird, as if very aggressive noise reduction was run. The perch appears much sharper than the bird.
The shooting angle is also somewhat steep, but its the loss of detail that holds this one back.

Totally agree with Randy about the loss of detail in the bird, and the focus being mainly on the perch. On the other hand, EXP is fine and composition not too bad. Thanks so much for sharing, Arsdel.
