For me either get a closer shot up around the face, or include all of the bird. Unfortunately you've cropped the tail.

If you shot in raw, try boosting some fill light to lift some of the shadows, and maybe bump the exposure a notch it seems a little underexposed.

Sharpness wise you seem to have got the bird nicely focused so can't fault you there.
