Wahey Trevor!

you def have knack for getting really close to some birds..!
smashing shot! not much i would change about this. maybe putting him off to the LHS to make him look "into" the shot a bit more. nice work!

Hi Trevor, nice sharp shot, as already said I would have tried to frame him a bit more to the left so that he is looking into the image. depending upon what editing software you have, you may want to see if you can slightly lighten the bird a bit so that we can see a little bit more detail in the feathers. I see in your exif info that you were using Metering Mode: matrix next time you try a shot like this try using spot metering, as this will make sure that the bird is correctly exposed.
