Greetings from the Critique Club and congrats on the high placement and score.

Obviously a solid image. I've read through the many comments you have already and will try not to repeat.

Suggestions: the midground is the weaker area (as the dof and bird are excellent) It's a bit cluttered with light colored branches and distracts my eye from the subject. The branch "growing" out the of the bird's head weakens the composition as well. I offer these observations not because you could necessarily control where the bird lands but more from a "here's what detracts" pov. Cropping out the right stick (from about the center and to the right edge) might simplify the compostion and remove some of the clutter -- just a thought.

Again, strong image and the suggestion is only one woman's opinion.

Please email me with any questions and Happy shooting :)
