I thought this shot turned out well even though it was through a window. It was not cropped.

That's a fabulous pose. The head position, the eye looking right at you and what looks for all the world like a big smile. It just really grabs your attention. It bothers me there seems to be no detail in the chest area, almost like it's art work instead of a photo. Maybe it has to do with shooting through the glass. Other than that, you couldn't ask for a more pleasing and eye-catching pose than this. Kudos.

I agree with all that everyone has mentioned and I think the lack of detail is in part due to the hot reds...I find red very difficult to control but in post it can be tempered a bit by selectively tweaking the red channel. Cardinals, tanagers and the vermillion flycatcher cause me lots of problems and one really needs to pay attention to the rgb histogram and not just the brightness one.
Hope that helps a bit going forward.

A nice pose Paul, although I do agree with the other comments. Eric hit it on the head with his comments on the red channel ~ Ron

In the areas of strong red, I reduced the saturation and upped the contrast with mask. I think you can see more detail in these areas now.

This is a very good image Paul. I like how it's framed between the branches.
