Hi Dan,

I like the partial banking to get the under-wing details. Head looks turned away just ever so slightly or it could be the position of the pupil. He looks a bit flat so I ran a local contrast adjustment on him using USM at 30/60/0 and reduced opacity to 50%.

Nice soft light and pose. I agree with Robert regarding a bit more contrast.
