I like the pose and eye contact as well as the head turn and the perch. Not too sure about the crop as it seems to closely centered for me.If this were my image I may want to tone down the branches a little as well. The large version really shows the great detail you captured. nice and sharp.

A fairly common bird, but still one of my favorites!
Really nice image! I agree that it is a bit centered for my taste also, and I'd suggest darkening the lighter areas of the bird a bit. They are a little washed-out from here.

Really nice! The only thing I'd like is a bit more room for the tail. Love the pose, and sharpness is great in the whole bird.
