You had excellent light and I love the sharp head with good details. I am not sure about the composition though, especially the near wing looks a bit awkward. The image is fairly noisy for such low ISO(?) make sure you mask the BG when sharpening and also back off on sharpening a bit

Great light and details.

I think the right wing tends to distract from a beautiful image. Maybe give more of the right wing if possible
