Great moment and nice composition giving the bird room to fly.

I'd say the biggest thing that jumps out is the very hard light which pushes the contrast and leads to those dark shadows under the wings. It also looks like the image might have been soft and had a lot of sharpening added or perhaps it's a heavy crop on the original image. Whenever possible try to shoot in softer light, whether that means golden hour near sunrise or sunset or looking for those days with high but bright overcast which acts like a giant softbox in the sky.

Great job seeing the opportunity and tracking the bird for a nice composition.
