I like this! I think your image is well exposed with nice detail. A bit more of a head turn toward the viewer might have enhance image. I also like the perch. May I suggest that the stem be toned down a little. The simple plan background displays the bird an perch nicely. What is the background? Thanks for sharing.
Almost looks like a painting. More head turn needed as noted by Phil--the head is actually shaded a bit. The bird looks borderline over-sharpened.
