This is a Masi Mara Triangle image. This Secretary Bird was foraging in the tall grass searching for snakes, but only finding grasshoppers and other insects while we were with him. C and C welcome, I'm here to learn. Hope you like my image.

I like the pose and framing, gave it just enough room at the bottom for virtual feet. Head angle is just fine and caught the bird in good light, I know most of the time is very harsh. Could suggest to select the head area and give it another sharpening pass. I like the image a lot !!! Really nice !!!
You did quite well for sharpness using a 2x TC on a non canon lense and a zoom at that. I agree with Al that another round of sharpening on the bird is in order.
