Nice eye contact, superb detail and lovely colors, Den! The highlights in the background are distracting, so be conscious of your BG when shooting. Would love a less massive perch too. There are a number of dust spots in the BG. Lastly you can make the composition stronger by chopping off a bit of space at the top and right.  |

Hi Dennis,
For me, I'd decrease the Contrast a bit and put in a bit of Fill Light (c.f. Lightroom/ Photoshop). The white halo around the bird may be due to too much sharpening - try adjusting the Radius and Amount.
The key is to get close - something I forever will work on! Keep on shooting!
