Liking the natural interaction with the crab shell, and composed in the frame well....but sadly the IQ on the bird lacking a little, looks rather grainy, possibly from trying to lighten dark areas in PS from being underexposed ? The strong application of noise reduction to the backdrop also extends to the foreground, it looks a little strong creating a blurry soft look, whilst that can be OK in backdrop, it tends to look a little odd in the foreground I feel.
Using a masking layer in PS for noise removal can make it easier to retain sharpness or/and smoothness where you want it.
Seeing this bird for the first time. TFS.
Excellent image with very nice lights,with great angle,exposing it's eye very nicely.
I like the crab in his beak.Very nice composition too.
Love the frame.

Nice action/behavior but agree it looks to be over-processed. Could also use a bit more room at the bottom to give the virtual feet some breathing room.
Cool bird and love the behavior. There are some IQ issues with your bird. If you'd like to post the image as it came out of the camera, someone could help you with the processing to see where it might be improved.
