Nice light and composition. For such a large crop, this image seems to have plenty of detail.
Overall a very clean image.
My only nit, is that the bird's head is turned away from the camera which in this type of image is a bit disconcerting for me.

Very sharp and clean, doesn't seem like that type of crop was done. I agree that the bird's head toward the camera would make the image better.
