The wing position is ideal given the background, the exposure and focus are good. I am not too sure about the sharpening, the legs for example look a little refractive??

Stuart:

Nicely exposed, good DOF on bird, stick a plus.

He is angling a bit away from us and he is too centered for my taste. I might try a very minor crop from the right to move him off center a bit.

Cheers
