This photo came out really good, it's too bad there are the distracting twigs in the background.

Catbird looks good (kinda' young with that fluffy head); great detail in the eye, especially. Should be pretty easy to clone out the bright twigs; alternatively, you could color them or make them darker so they blended into the background more.

i agree with ErikV buddy. with the way the background is you could probably clone it out very easily. i didn't get a shot as good as this of this guy. way to steal the better locations :P

Nice and sharp. And I agree the eye is great. Nicely done.

BTW, the background twigs would be quite easy to clone out and this would really take this image over the top.
