I think the crop is well done, with the bird looking into the corner of the frame. I like that the location of the perch at the bottom takes the viewer from the bottom corner of the image to the bird and then the bird's gaze takes the viewer to the top corner. The perch's texture is wonderful.
Good detail in the feathers and eye.
There is a slight blur to the one foot and tip of bill - the techs are listed so am curious about the aperture.

What a beauty!!! A slight head turn towards would have been nicer and I think you could go a bit less on the sharpening.
It's best when you include the techs so we can do a better critique and suggestions.

I think with a bit of cropping it could not give a better impact to the viewer.I agree with you the perch is wonderful but with crop the perch no good viewer too.I have only one shot this Bird on this perch.
