The pose is really lovely, but the IQ is really suffering. The bird isn't sharp and looks really crunchy, especially around the eye and beak. I would revisit the workflow if, in fact, the original file is worth working with.
The pose is great. The IQ is not great but it looks better to me than it does to Dorian. There seems to be a green cast to the bird and the bird's head is turned away :(

Hi Joe ... a nice flight shot of this guy . Framing works well and I gonna love that eye .
To me the colors are looking a bit " off" , but I do not know the bird so I would trust your view .
I would echo Dorian's thoughts about sharpness .... should be pin sharp at 1/3200 sec
