Very nice action in this image and wonderful soft lighting, I very much like the composition but would like to see more room all the way around as I find the crop just a little tight. Perhaps a touch of S/H could bring up a little more detail as well as a roound of USM.

At the time you were shooting the comp should have been close to + something Unusual to go minus Check histogram and get data on the last box on right

Good pose I like you waited for the bird to do a something Would suggest having a bit more room !!!
