Morteza:
Your bird is sharp, well exposed, pleasant background, sense of action with the wings up.
I might trim down or evict the small twig sticking up on the perch. It would also help to just tone down the brightness a bit.
Had he just taken a bath? Looks like a few droplets in the air.
Cheers
Randy
Is this a set-up at a feeder or elsewhere?

the perch is setup next to a springhead in the mountains where birds come to drink water, 50 km east of Arsanjan, Iran.Originally Posted by Arthur Morris
Next time you go you need to do some searching in advance and find a few nice perches. The one in your photo is pretty bad bordering on butt ugly with all the broken branch stubs. Look for something slimmer-dark grey is best, with a weathered look and no broken branch stubs. Image is sharp and the BKGR is lovely. Not a fan of the flinching pose.

Lovely bird, pose and background. Your bird is well exposed and nice and sharp. The left side of the perch being out of focus I find distracting. After you go and find that perfect perch, try to set it up in such a way that it is parallel to where the bird is going to land....if at all possible.
