Hi Mick,

Trust you are well, not quite working for me I'm sorry, I'm not too keen on the perch but appreciate that that is where the bird perched, perhaps crop a little from the bottom and some from the left to hide the end, that may position the bird a little better in the frame too... there seems to be a little bit of softness from resizing, did you do a final sharpen?

Best

As Phil says above, this could handle and benefit from a little more sharpening. I would also try to neutralise the bluish cast and dullish tones that result from the environment in which the shot was taken, but that's just my preference.
