Way cool bird, goor EXP, and sharp. The diagonal branch behind the bird's head is both unforutnate and distracting. With a lot of hard work, that branch and a few others could be removed... Good head angle and a nice sharp eye.

Agree with the comments above and would ad that the horizon could be corrected just a bit. Still, great shot! Very nice pose and details, dark bird in the shadow is not an easy target.
