Nice details and pose. I would go for a wider crop and lighten the shadows a bit.

[Robert Smith]

Great pose and exposure! How much did you have to pay him to strike that pose???

I, too, would like a tad more room around him, but like him as is.

I like the details. The light is very strong creating heave contrast.

Lovely subject, the pose is nice and the image is sharp, but there are some problems. The bird is too tight in the frame. There is quite a bit of noise and the leaves in the bg have an odd outlined look; was this a large crop? The light is harsh causing shadowing and contrast problems. There is a dust spot on the leaf near the upper right side.
