nice pose with open beak and dangling feet, and I also like the BG that shows his typical habitat. The image is underexposed and the blacks show no detail. I would try to recover the blacks. opening the aperture will give you a smoother BG which can use some NR here. You can also post larger for better viewing.

"James", are you working on a calibrated monitor? I love the pose and habitat. So beautiful.
Killer light you had here, Jim, and I love how the underwings are lit up and so full of details! The pose is awesome as is the inclusion of the habitat, esp the grasses down below which really help to anchor the image. Would try bringing up the blacks a bit but overall a very pleasing image!
Love the light and the wings up and dangling feet. Killer BG.
Nice to see a catchlight.
I agree that it would be nice to see if you can get some more details in the blacks but overall a lovely image,
