Another great active pose! You might consider removing just a bit of the white that is intruding into the eye, to make the eye very clear. Nice gradation of the bkgd colors from blue to a mix of blue & green, and then all green. The single white feather in the back functions as a nice counter balance to the widespread open wing.
