Great pose with the prey! Nice head angle and raised crest.
Tough light that you handled pretty well. Darkening the BG would help, but would be difficult to do.

Yep, agree on this with Sandy; the bird is awesome and well photographed, but the BG attracts a little bit too much attention IMHO, which is mainly due to the brightness. That all said, I wish I had made this shot , cheers, Hans

Excellent capture. But the bright background is an issue. It can be solved, but would take some work and patience. In PS, using the Quick Selection tool, select the bird, being careful to get the finicky bits in the tail, crest and bill. You'd have to work at magnification. Then invert the selection, Refine the Edge and pull the brightness down. Then I'd probably re-invert, refine the edge again, and brighten the bird just a bit. I think it would be worth the effort.
