wow - great capture! Exposure and DOF are right on. The crop seems just a tad tight for a bird. Maybe have more space on one side? The bottom space is perfect and captures a nice full reflection.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Positives:
Good capture of a bird inflight. For the most part the imagine is sharp especially in face of the bird which is vital in shots like this.

Suggested Improvements:
Expand the crop a bit so that there is more negative space. A good example is your photo called "Eyes like a hawk", which btw is a great image. That one has more head room in the direction in which the hawk is flying towards. That just gives the image an extra sense of freedom, which goes well with the subject.

You obviously are good at capturing birds in flight so there really isn't anything else I can suggestion. In terms of processing I don't really see anything that could be improved.

Summary:
Nice image just work on framing it better.

Good!! This is great. Only thing that could better this was a slightly deeper DOF to bring the back into focus.
