Nice catch. The shadows and high contrast makes it lose some detail. Probably along with not having all that many pixels to work with from the start?

Would have been nice if it had looked more to the side to make the head stand out more. Guess it's hard to tell a bird to "please look that way" :-)

Nut should have been dead center I think. But I guess it's close enough..

Neat picture -- not sure I like how blotchy the photo seems.

Great shot, shame the lighting is a bit too harsh. Some nice colours. More sharpness would also have been good. Maybe this is picky, but I wouldn't call this centred. The head/eyes are the focal point of any animal, which is not in the centre here. I'm not convinced by your post-processing which has left a posterised effect as the different levels of colour don't run into each other smoothly. I suspect this is a side-effect of NeatImage gone a bit wrong.

Walnut in the beak?? Took me a second to figure out it was not a disformed beak.
