    Nicely exposed, simple composition (good), good angle in frame, reasonable shooting angle.

    In a perfect world, would prefer the perch to not be clipped on the right side.

    Might consider 1/4 less exposure, seems a bit bright for my tastes.

    Cheers

    The bird looks good and I do like the perch. I do agree with Randy that it is a little bright but I think you did a good job given the bright conditions the photo was taken in. The background is great.

    I like the bird, the pose, and the SQ crop. You did as well as possible. The bird and the leaves look over-sharpened to me....

    Very nice capture, and I like the composition. Colors and exposure look good despite the strong light. I feel the bird and perch are both oversharpened.
