Excellent exposure and detail on the bird - really makes him come alive for us. I’m fine with the centered composition given the other elements in the image. Nice straight on look at us. Well done.

The composition works well with the RWBB centered by the foliage. Really like the color palette. Nicely captured. As David said, looks like it’s close to home.
