Hi Joel, I like everything about this image expect the end of the perch and also the angle I would prefer if coming from the corner.

Really nice detail on the bird, Joel. I like your composition but agree with Don about the end of the perch. I see a white line under and along the tail. I get a lot of these to my feeder but they don't like my perches.

The soft light works well with the BG. Nice head angle. Might sharpen just a little more. Agree with the others about the perch.

Thanks for looking and commenting, is this better?
The sharpening looks better. If I were going to recrop I'd take a little off the top, leaving it in a horizontal format.
