Hi Marek,
A nice portrait with just a couple of little nits. Firstly not sure that the head/eye is 100%sharp, looks like PoF was on the shoulder, also the OoF twig crossing the tail and the little bit poking above the perch just infront, Clone these out and, for me it would be better. The BG is lovely with matching colours to the subject.
Regards
Rob

With the nits Rob mentioned aside this is a nice shot of a bird that dont stay still too long..........

Rob seems to have covered the nits pretty thoroughly, For such a comparatively common bird, they can be hard to pin down. Nice shot. Eric
