Really nice pose, wing extension and fish!
You've lost a lot of detail in the blacks and some of the whites, and it's quite soft - if you'd care to post your camera settings, we could suggest improvement

I'm no expert, John, but I think a much faster shutter speed may have helped with the softness. I really like the wingspread and the big fish.

John, that helps!
For birds in flight, you want as fast a shutter speed as possible - usually at least 1/2000. That would alow much better detail.
