Lovely light and you caught the light in its eye. I would have preferred a slightly different angle, the tail feathers pointing towards me are a distraction and would also like to see the beak a bit sharper.
Deborah make some valid points. I also would crop a bit of the bottom as I find the oof lower left corner a bit distracting which takes away from an otherwise fine image.
You exposure looks pretty good as I see details in both the blacks and whites. The head being turned back and parallel to the camera sensor provides us with a good view of the face and bill. I agree that the bird looks a little soft. It might be worth selectively sharpening the bird. Thanks for sharing.
