Love the pose, perch, and BKGR. The near foot position is way cool. The bird, esp. the face, looks a tad over-sharpened.

Great perch and BG...Like the colors and what a stunning bird, maybe a touch oversharpened...Nice one Jim
Neat bird, I love the plumage. BG and perch look great. Pose is nice too. Personal peference would be for the subject a bit smaller in the frame with more room above and left, but still OK as is. I find the WB a bit on the "cool" side - have you tried a slightly warmer version?
Hi Jim, Good pose and HA, and love the various blues on him. Interesting curves on the perch, and the lichen adds interest. Stands out nicely against the smooth BG.

At 1/60 very nicely done - like the pose, HA, BG and moss on the perch
To me , colors look about right for a dark, shady setting in CR
If this was a natural perch , not much you could do about the OOF section on LHS, but if it was a setup, might have tried to work with a straighter twig/branch positioned parallel to camera sensor
You might also consider touching up the eye
You've done well with the tanagers - thanks for sharing
Nice looking bird. The soft light really brings out the colors.
