I like the angle, pose and complementing BG. The bird looks a bit oversharpened on my monitor and I wish for more head turn towards you.

I am with Axel on the head angle. You could also dodge the head a little.
Nice image.

This is the head angle BPN likes, sharpened 1x with USM, I liked the puffed up feathers on the original, the head may be at wrong angle, she realized she was photographed and changed the feathers and head angle, thank you for taking trouble to look.
