I have mixed feelings about this. Nice color, details, sharp, focus ok. But, I believe you cropped quite a bit to get this tight a shot. Good thing, in order to show the color, detail, focus etc. But, for me, it means that the shot is a simple portrait with little life. If the area you show were to occupy about a quarter of the screen, lower or middle right, then it would give me more of an impression of a bird in flight. Some out-of-focus background would be nice as well. I envy you the skill to take such a fine shot of a fast moving bird, but the composition just doesn’t work for me.
