I like the lookback pose and details. Too bad you clipped the tail and steep angle. I would crop it as a vertical and tone down the highlights in the lower left.
You made a 1/2 -way decent image with a good EXP for the bird and excellent sharpness in anm impossible situation. With an angle that steep, the rocks blocking part of the bird, and the white rocks l-l-c you had zero chance of making a good or great image. The head angle is spot-on.
