Well done Andrew. Nice and sharp with lovely color. Perhaps consider toning down the bright ooof branches in the bg and although he appears to be on a hill a slight rotation to straighten him up.

I like this fellow's look, position and the light. I would suggest crop out the right and make this equal-distant on each side of the frame even though this cuts that stick in half. That stuff on the right reflecting light is a big distraction.
thank you for your input Robert and comments Rachel. I have considered the following crop...... I also attempted to use some of my limited ps skills to reduce brightness on that pesky twig !
