Great comp and detail as well as exposure. Might tone down the BG a bit. Perhaps over-saturated???

Nice low angle here - looks like you may have gotten dirty for this one! Although still wearing breeding colours, the plumage looks well worn. Maybe just a bit too much OOF stuff at bottom - I'd crop away close to half of that. You could also tone down some of the highlights on the bill, legs, and ground (using a combination of the clone and patch tools should work). Now I may sound picky here, but although it is parallel as is, the head could have been angled a bit more towards us.

Great sharp detail and shooting angle. Like the DOF. Subject is well exposed with good colours. Well done !
