Strong lines here from the perch and angle of bird.
Bird is well exposed.
I wish the abdomen and tail didn't merge with the perch.
Some noise or compression artifacts in the BG.
I have mixed feelings about the BG colors. Nice to have some variety, and some of the colors go well with the bird, but somehow the overall balance doesn't quite work for me.
Might have been interesting to take a couple steps to your left to get a more uniform background.
Wicked sharp with beautiful colors. Wicked bullet-like posture. The bird's head is angle away from both the line of its body and from us. It looks as if the tail is clipped (just below the perch...) Agree with Randy on the merge of the rear of the bird and the reed or reeds.
