I really like the bg here and the fact that it's a nice tight crop for such a little guy. Great detail on the face. Not sure about the light on the bottom tail feathers.
Perfect pose. Ditto Cheryl's comments about the BG and face detail. If anything, maybe just a tad too tight for my taste. Breast looks just a little dingy and might stand just a bit of brightening?
