Hi Akos. A lower perspective would have made this photograph much better. High in the sky doesn't help at all. I would suggest cropping from the right to enhance the composition as well.
You've done well with DOF to keep the whole bird in focus but the image looks a little soft - maybe just some USM would improve it. A mild shadow/highlight adjustment would lighten the underwing and I would be tempted to leave a bit more space around the bird. You've kept detail in the whites nicely and the eye is well lit with a catchlight.
