The image is so very sharp it gives a 3D effect.
The use of fill flash is very effective here.

The white balance is so very perfect all shades of colour merge seamlessly with it.
Great image!

Hope to see more from your trip to Spain.

Well done!!!

However, you seem to prefer to have much of the branch within the frame and no the bird exclusively.
I would have preferred a bigger bird image instead.

Beautiful composition with perfect exposure. Of course, if you had taken this shot with your big lens, we would have been able to see the eyes of these birds in larger size.

This is what makes the big difference between a compact camera and a powerful zoom lens.
The eye of this bird is its most appealing feature and you have done a great job of capturing it in perfect sharpness.

Despite busy BG, the elegant bird stands out beautifully.
The second layer of BG in the form of a deep blue sky enhances the appeal of your image.

Superb POV, sharpness and colours.
This lens creates a DOF that makes the subject just stand out.
I give you 10/10 for perfect use of your big lens.

Anyway, the shot is just passable.

However, you have barely managed to keep the tail-end within the frame; it happens with this lens when opened out to its full 600mm range. The focus on the eye is perfect.
