    This one just doesn't do it for me. The light and processing are great, but I don't like how you see just one eye and am bothered by the clump (can't think of another word) of wind hanging out.
    I just like profile shots are symmetrical hand on shots.

    Strong side lighting like you had here is really tricky. It can be dramatic but in this image it just doesn't quite help any one feature of your subject to stand out. I do like the pose, I tend to think vertical in situations like this. (Too tight top and bottom as presented) DOF wasn't deep enough to render the bill and head in focus. I would certainly keep trying for images of this great subject and work it ! Lastly, your signature's color doesn't compliment the image at all and is way too bold. My eye kept sliding down to it and away from the bird.
