I like the composition. Focus and exposure are great. Nice choice of F stop for depth and I like the simple perch. A very pleasing image. There seems to be some sort of streak coming from the top end of the perch into the image that I find distracting and I am not so crazy about the cob web on the bottom.
Nice pose, head angle, eye contact, and paacement of the bird in the frame. I feel the yellows could be toned down a little, to bring out the detail in the feathers, particularly on the forehead. The bird's left leg is a bit out of focus. The spider web doesn't bother me.
Lovely shot and I like the cobweb at the bottom and I presume that is a strand top right - for me it adds a little authenticity. It is a fine image, good exposure and detail.
