One idea for the next time is to take one where the body is razor sharp and then take another of the wings and combine them in Photoshop or a a software program like Photomatrix. Sometimes it takes more than one image to get perfection.
Now, back to the good things...beautiful colors and nice exposure. I love the BG - nicely blurred but you still get a sense of the environment. Very close to being a perfect DF image and that is a big thing to accomplish.
