The techs on this image are spot on with good exposure and DOF.PP looks good also.
I am not sure about this comp. It is a very subjective issue but I would prefer more room on the RHS and a crop from the LHS.
I would also see if you could brighten the eye a bit. The soft diffuse light is wonderful for the feathers but not so good for the dark eye!A degree more head turn would have been perfect.

Love the exposure, detail and the smooth background, Joe.
