Nice one, lovely details on the bird, the catch is a big add on.
There is a hint of noise in the BG , a NR on BG can help it more

Gorgeous bird. Prey is an added bonus. nice colors and sharpness. Your repost takes this up a few notches. I could see a crop from the top. TFS.

Enviable image !...quality of light is very nice indeed, and such a beautiful subject especially with food in the beak, very nice simplistic image with extra good background particularly with the extra noise reduction applied....I would be inclined to crop a tiny bit more off the top to make it a slightly wider aspect image
