From the Critique Club

Nice bird, does not seem out of focus but lack detail on the feathers and head, probrably from USM. Highlights and colors are fine. The background makes the image seem a bit darker to me then it probrably is.

The way you cropped it emphasizes the tilt the bird has. Maybe a bit more room on the left would have helped in that area.

I like the scale of the bird, I think you had the right idea just some unknown sharpening issues.

Beautiful bird... perhaps cropping in tighter on the head/chest would have made this more effective.
