Great pose and eye contact. Well placed in the frame. Wish the shadow was not there.
When the bird is flapping (as it is here) and the sun is out, it is impossible to have the underwings evenly lit... You could make it a bit better but it is a lot of work and not very rewarding...
later and love, artie
