Sweet light, sharp, and a very good head angle. A very pretty image for what looks like a garbage dump.... :) I would eliminate the four white specks on the burlap along the bottom frame edge.

Nice colours on the starling, and good comp. Although I find the BG mildly distracting, I do find the patterns and colours quite intriguing. There is blown area alonng the top edge that could be fixed by cloning some neighbouring pixels.
I love the bird's pose and detail. I concur with the background comments, and would suggest, as long as you're cloning, to soften, color-over or at least reduce the brightness of the large white spot above the head. The BG hues overall are very appealing, in spite of their material origins.
The background is a bit distracting but, in this case, I think that works quite good because adds information about the habitat of the species with details enought to think that is a lot of garbage. Composition, pose, light ans sharpness works fine for me. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks a lot Arthur sir, Daniel sir, Bill sir & Juan sir for your kind words. As you all noted here the BG was garbage full of plastic bags. The bird was searching food there & I got chance to click it. Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I'll try to work on that & will repost it. I'm still on the learning phase & your suggestions will help me a lot.... :)
