Beautiful photograph. Sharp. Liked the head turn and perch. The spider web can also be seen :). Nice composition.

The composition is nice. It is sharp. The background is a bit cluttered. You could have moved a bit to the left to avoid the intersection of the background tree and the bird's head. Overall it is nice... Thanks for sharing.

This looks nice. The tree pie is well exposed. The background is not well diffused. The sunlight passing through the patches of foliage distracts a bit. These tree pies often eat scraps of meat, skin etc from the kills. So observing these birds can often yield important information.
