Hi Greg, nice first post.
The bird blends in a bit too much because it is a little too small in the frame. I wish it were looking in the opposite direction as it now has too much negative space behind it, whereas it should be in front for the bird to "look into". The dark (upper 3rd) background really competes for my attention.
What camera/lens combo was this captured with? Always helps to provide the exif details.

I like the colors and the reflection. I agree with Akos that it would be nicer if the bird had more room in front of it and less behind. Sharpness is hard to determine with the bird this small in the frame.
