Kahu, the harrier hawk

I took this image a year or so ago on a 20D, when it was taken I was pretty new to photography with a DSLR and got the exposure wrong, as it exposed for the BG not the Hawk. As I learn more with photoshop and from help of others I seem to slowly improve this image over time. If anyone has any thoughts or comments on improvements would be appreciated.

Nice pose. I would love a crop from the right.

Looks good to me, great incoming flight pose. The only thing I may try is to tone down the whites on the tail feathers.

You might just want to tone down the tree logs behind, other than that, pose and sharpness as is compo look great! Congratulations!
