I like the image. I wish wing did not intersect the Green Foliage or the neck.

I think you can add level to make the image pop.

Nice flight position. Ditto Krishna's comments: maybe a bit of Tonal Contrast or some black to the neutrals would give it some pop.

I like the flight pose but agree that this needs a bit more saturation and would do as Bill suggests. I would also sharpen the head a bit.
I wish the sandbar had not intersected with the bird.
The more I look at this the more I think it needs some CW rotation,

I agree with Gail re the rotation. You captured some nice details on the bird and I like the trailing legs. I would also try sharpening the head and neck a little.

nice light and pose, the far wing merge with the head is a bit fatal and I agree the head doesn't look tack sharp to my eye
