I really like the composition of this shot, the way the bird is looking back into the image area. Well positioned in the framing, and the bg bokeh adds a nice touch. I know it's easy to armchair quarterback this, but if there had been just a small amount of fill light (flash set to -1 to -1.7) this shot would really stand out.

Just a couple of observations. :-)

When I was a child my mother would intermitantly shout from wherever she was in the house "Sara, whatever you've got in your mouth, take it out". I still put things in without realising... Yep, I can relate to this completely.
