Nice pose - but too bad the lower wing wasn't angled down more. Love the habitat in the BG...maybe tone down the bright vertical lines in front of the face, as well as lighten the iris.
Great find, details, exposure control and eye contact. I agree with Daniel regarding the near wing.
Too bad about the wing but everything else looks good. Very cool bird and love the background.
