I brushed the background a little to make the rocks a little less dominant, also brightened the head a bit.
All C & C welcome

Lovely pose and nice job on the whites, Jonathan. Agreed on the catchlight. Might also try a bit of lightening around the eye area to try to bring it out as well. I would also like to see a little bit more room above.
There is some reflection on the eye so all you need is to lighten that more rather than adding a catchlight. I'd lighten the darks a bit more...they seem too, well...dark (some flash would have helped here IMO). Good job on the BG, and although the wings are not in fully-opened position I still ike the pose alot, especially the rounded chest.
like the image,nice pose,better lighting would have showed the green in the head,but as we both no,the lighting is very hit and miss here in the UK at the moment.thanks.
