Took this photo of a Spotted Thick-knee at the zoo. Not sure if captive birds appeal to you but I've read that it's ok to post them as long as it's disclose. Plus, I believe the image itself a dead give away.
Anyway, I would appreciate any comments on how I can improve it overall. That way I can go back to the zoo and take photos of other interesting birds and animals armed with the suggestions and additional knowledge I got from you.
Shooting Info: Canon 70D + EF 24-105mm f/4L IS, 1/125 sec, f/4.5, ISO 100
Editing Info: I cloned out some debris to clean up the area around the bird but decided to leave the small ones. Adjusted levels and applied sharpening

). You're right! The zoo is great place to practice techniques since the subjects are mostly still and you can try different exposures and compositions.
