That's quite a dynamice pose you got there. I do find it tight in the frame. "About full frame"...were you photographing smaller birds when this guy showed up? Just wondering if the perch would have had been better placed farther away from your hide with the long lens used.

I like the calling pose and wing blur. I would add canvas at the top and remove the BG noise. The plumage looks a bit blueish on my monitor.
