Lovely perch and eye contact. The clean background adds to the composition. You can crop just a bit on the left to remove the hint of the branch(?) on the left frame. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

I agree that the hint of the branch at the left, if avoided, would make the image better. Overall the image has come out well.

Cheers,
