The composition could have used a little more imagination. The whole picture is just the bird up close and personal, so close that you clipped the left toenail. If this is a crop, leave some breathing room. Also the angle isn't that flattering to the bird. The harsh, bright light played havoc with the feathers at the base of the head and along the back, while the breast feathers being in shade are so much more pleasing to view. That brings me back to the angle once again you decided on. By rotating more towards the front of the bird, you would have been able to deal with the light in a more flattering manner.

Hi Joel, unfortunately that was the only angle I could get and I clipped her toes. I tried HDR effect but it I should have kept it "original". Thanks for the feedback

I know the feeling. I often end up with less then stellar shots of birds. I guess it's one of the reasons I love florals so much. They generall don't move, I do.

Thats very true. Or scenery for me! Doesn´t move either
