Great pose, light, and sharpness. Eye contact is good. The BG is somewhat distracting, in particular the branch cutting right through the bird and also the light spot in the LRC. From a composition standpoint, the bird is centered in the frame; I would move it to the left and also place it higher in the frame by cropping from the top.
Love the pose. Image seems to lack contrast due to the fog - setting a black point then raising the curve removes the flat look. A crop from top, left and bottom to decentre the bird is an option.
