Clean and crisp - nice contrast against the background.

Lovely shot, shadows are not working in your favour but not bad

That low light is just perfect for showing the breast and the colours. It even makes the branch look interesting.

I can imagine this one sitting in my garden like this (and regret why I didn't try to photograph any bird here, but I didn't think of it back then, so yeah). The hard thing with wildlife is to make a good composition: you have to be fast, otherwise it flies away, and you need to have luck with the background; which you had: your background is grey, which contrasts with the bird, and that makes it all even more beautiful. Well done!

It seems like the focus is on the twig and bottom half of the bird. Therefore some of the detail in the chest feathers is lost. A little more light on the face would also have helped.

Nice capture and good choice on DOF. Lack of light in the eye lets this down a touch for me.
