Nice details and BG. I would go for a vertical crop and if you have more room at the bottom as it looks as if the tail (that is unfortunately not really visible) is clipped.
Tail visible would have helped but I am not that concerned about the tail clipping since it is obscured as it is. Vertical crop would help . Also if you crop some from the left of the image it makes for a nice image to place text/blurbs that the bird would be looking at.
SHBAVITFP = Should have been a vertical in the first place... Why try to stuff a tall bird into a horizontal frame. Exposure, sharpness, and BKGR all nice. later and love, artie

Nice photo but with a vertical frame and i think a different angel (to show the beauty of birds wings) will yield a far more pleasing picture also with sharpness and BG like this!
