Red-whiskered Bulbul. Do I need a longer lens?

Do I need a longer lens for this to be considered good? It’s from about 15 feet away.

Beautiful shot, Craig. What good would a longer lens do?
Thanks, Mike. I think it would allow me to fill the sensor more to capture the feather details.
I use an Olympus OM-1 micro four-thirds camera, so full frame equivalents are double - My lens is a 40-150mm with 1.4 teleconverter, which is half the 300mm minimum that birders use. They also have longer, recently 200-600mm non-pro that takes the 1.4 and 2.0 teleconverters.
Or I just try to get much closer to the bird without scaring it away.

I personally like to see some surroundings. I find this to be perfect! You have great light, color and details, and a very engaging profile shot.
If you're experience G.A.S., you should own up to it and not make us your enablers

Where was the photo taken?
It was in my backyard in Southern California.

Thanks, I'm probably being too hard on myself.

That's interesting - I thought it was an asian bird.

Linda, this is so good to hear. It's like winning an Iron Chef competition where the excellent judges rave about your work! I really don't want to buy a huge, heavy and expensive lens and will push off the G.A.S. monster...after I get the flash gear I need.
