Hi Andy,
Like the colours and pose of the Robin, and a good BG, perch is not ideal but it could be a lot worse . Might be my tired eyes but does very slighty soft around the eye
You have mentioned the perch, a nice alert pose from this Robin which is very endearing, Rob has mentioned the softness of the head area, also the catchlight doesn't quite look right, I think I would clone out the bright centre catchlight which appears out of place, if you see what I mean...

Hi Andrew
nice placid picture and I agree with the other comments. Personally I feel there is to much space above the Bird.

Hi Andrew,
All nits covered but still a nice portrait of the bird - too much space above for me also but pic editors/designers love blank space!
