Nice capture; love the shock of yellow feet against the rest of the image a lot! For me I feel like he's too tightly boxed in by the crop, and too centred. If you have room in the image open it up a bit and play with rule of thirds.

Great handling of the whites, I agree ssheipel that it needs some more room especially on the right

Thank you for the input! How's this with landscape orientation, instead of portrait?

Or this one, with the bird facing more to the viewers right?

Like the landscape orientation, might make the right margin (where he's looking) a tiny bit smaller, but not much. Like the photo a lot.
