Lovely light, pose and detail! Would agree it needs a little CW rotation.

Sharp, with a nice angle to the bird. Bummer about the shell right behind the bird's bill...Using a Double Bubble Level
(http://www.birdsasart.com/accs.html#BUBBLE) in the camera's hot shoe is especially important when working very low as it is impossible to correctly judge square to the world with your head at a severe angle to the viewfinder. Lastly, in this case working a bit higher would have eleminated the merge of the background vegetation with the bird's back...
