Sooner or later, someone may question the sharpness of this image.
Meanwhile, the picture has reasonably good interest level, good composition and good lighting and exposure. The background is certainly blurred sufficiently.

If you are concerned about whether or not your original is sharp or not, you could post a full detail 100% crop of some small portion of the image - say the portion including the eye and beak. That would allow reviewers to view that portion of the image at the same level of detail that you have on your own system.

Thank you for your comments they are much appreciated. As you say the image looks slightly blurred in the post yet it appears very sharp before i post them. Is there a reason why this should be?

Unless there is some other mechanism at work that we don't know about, the down-sampling that occurs when you resize to 800 pixels height is the most significant loss of detail and then on top of that is the JPG compression, which certainly does not improve an image (probably minor in comparison with the downsampling).

In this case, the downsampling was even worse, because it was brought down to < 600 pixels.
