    Nice take off pose.
    I think your exposure is spot on.
    I see a bluish cast in the whites and some noise in the BG. Both easy fixes.

    I usually love habitat in photos but honestly this feels very messy and to me overwhelms the bird. Sorry! I hate to be negative but do have to be honest in my critique.
