Nicely done.

Hey, it's posing.

Looked at this several times now, before commenting. It's a very nice catch. The reason I've gone back to it though is the crop. Just an opinion, but I keep thinking it would benefit from a tighter crop. The bird and the background are so close that the background might be over powering the bird some. Just playing with it, bringing in the sides to the edges of the cap and taking a little off the bottom and top seemed to make the bird pop more, but I really like your existing crop for balance. So that's why I keep coming back to it.

This is keen observation, IMHO.

I just don't have the glass to crop much more. This is really stretching it.

That really makes the little guy pop, making him the focus point, rather than the cap in the other. You could actually back off some if you need to, and still not lose him.

OK, final crop, I think
