I rather like the lighter OOF area behind the head as it serves to accent the line of head and beak. Trivial to reduce or remove the twig to the right with PS if it irritates you. I think its just part of an effective environmental context, if that makes sense.

I used an exposure of 1/90 sec @ f/8 (f/11 effective) to get a trace of DOF on the bird but this had the unfortunate effect of making the background busier. All comments welcome.
