Interesting shot - especially because I usually catch these guys at the feeder. I like that the plant complements the birds plumage coloration. The bird looks a little light, but it's a great close-up!
Interesting bird and good job getting the picture at eye level. The yellow-orange splotch at the upper left takes my eyes away from the bird as that splotch is the brightest part of the picture on my monitor -- taking some color from those leaves may make it a stronger picture
Sharp and I like the fall colors and the hunched up pose and the sharpness. All that I would recommend is a crop from the bottom to between the spine on the left side of the perch and the nub above it. It is generally best to have more room above the bird than below and that's why I recommended the crop :)
