It seems a touch oversharpened to me.

Nice diagonal composition, nice bird. Seems over sharpened.

Lovely colours and composition, just looks a little too sharp IMO

Pretty nice shot with good color, contrast and saturation. Focus is good. I would have composed for a little to the left, putting the head at the magic "thirds" mark.

It's neat to see the feather detail above the beak - not sure I've seen that before! Good use of natural framing while still keeping your bird as the foreground presentation.

Nice shot. I like how the whole bird is in the frame (no cropped tail like many of the others). I like the branch bokeh background. Birdie looks maybe a bit oversharpened, but a good capture overall. Bumping up 1.

too much confusion on the background, probably you could have an advantage blurring the background
