A nice pose, low angle, background, and light. Good job on the exposure. The bird is a bit tight in the frame for my taste - you might consider adding room on the top and left. If this was mine, I would clone one of the 2 catchlights, remove all the scattered bits of food on the snow, and maybe back off of the sharpening a little. :)
Looks very sharp to me. In addition to losing the seed I would add some room in front if I had it. Love the low angle.

Cool bird, i've only ever gotten long-distance shots of these guys.
Like was said already, the seed must go :)
I too love the low angle and the head turn is sublime, more space in front and check the head edges, slight halo could be dealt with.
Nice.
