Nice high key effect, flapping pose, red eye, shooting angle
Head appears just a sliver turned away to my eye.
Sharpening of a wet bird can be a challenge, and for personal taste I try to err on the side of not over sharpening them.
Interesting that there is vignetting in just the lower corners considering that the image wasn't cropped. Not a criticism, just an observation. Easy fix if desired.
The blacks and the whites look great, so do the details. Good comp, low angle. Yes to a better head angle, and I also wish the near wing was higher. Good stuff all around.
