A species I wish I had. Love the wing position, and the foot. The black on the head looks blocked on my screen. The underwings seem well exposed, but a bit lacking in detail -- maybe a DOF issue? Or maybe with a little Detail Extractor or more USM you could eke out a bit more.
The pose and foot are pretty neat! The wings very angelic. The perch is nice. I agree the blacks on the head look blocked, there is perhaps something you can do during raw conversion to open it up even if only a bit (perhaps the "shadows" slider if your software of choice has one - I know the one in LR can work wonders in such situations. I also agree a bit more sharpening on the wings could be worth a try.
I responded to your post on shooting Terns. I love the pose and the raised red foot but the blacks are severely blocked and aren't going to be recoverable. I explained how to try to avoid this from happening in the future in your post. Good luck with your shooting.

This is very well framed and pose from the subject is great, I also like the perch. Nice clean BG. HA works, the raised foot indeed makes this image and adds a tad of humour:)
I agree with remarks above regarding choked blacks and lack of detail in the white of the feathers - I do believe you can extract more detail from those lovely wings, and perhaps from the blacks too. I would certainly spend some more time on this frame, don't mind the tail not showing and I really think it is a wonderful and unique capture, very well done
love the foot!
