Hi George: Welcome to NPN. Looks like you found a nice moment for the Mocking Bird. The focus point appears to be on the body as the head and eye are not quite sharp. Your post processing has hurt this image. The contrast has been pushed too far and some obvious halos have appeared around the bird and foliage. It would be worthwhile to go back to the RAW file (assuming you are shooting in RAW), and reprocess with less extreme adjustments.

Welcome to the group George. I concur with Keith. Also my feeling is it might be cropped in a tad to much. Also the blurry plant part on the bottom left corner is kind of distracting.
