The action pose is super. I feel if you reduced the exposure on the tree trunk, the texture would stand out a lot more.
A super image though.

Nice timing and very interesting photo for me.
I agree you could tone down the trunk a tad, but the color looks great on the Bluebird.
Maybe a little off the left side?

its nice and with unusual pose, very interesting, in my monitor I do notice some noise in the shadows on the trunk, agree with with Ishmeet, if you tone dow the trunk a bit you would reduce noise and get some detail in the lighter zone.

Perfect timing Jim. The bird is very sharp and well exposed. Agree with toning down the tree trunk. The BG is great, well done.

I suppose if I had sharpened the trunk I'd have more detail;l but selective sharpening of the main subject was intentional.

I didn't want the trunk to compete.
