I like the angle, look-back pose and BG. There are some clone marks near the tail, maybe from the things you cloned out. I would tone down the whites and sharpen the bird a bit less.

Sweet looking image, love the pose and BG. the cloning marks near the tail and middle of the perch are a bit distracting.

Hi Sayed and welcome. Loverly bird and perfect head angle and sharpness. You did make a mess around the tail however....

Lovely pose, sharpness and detail. Sweet BG too. I also see the cloning marks. Would try a tight vertical if you got the space.
