Nice sharpness; good detail. IMO this would be stronger with less rock showing (say a horizontal composition) and better light (not so close to mid day).

John, I agree with Richard, the Junco doesn't compete well with all of that bright rock, I would crop off at least the bottom 1/2 of this image. You've got a good looking bird here and I'm sure you wish you had better light, but you did well with what you had to work with.
