very nice.....maybe because i like to photograph animals. photograph showes a lot of excitement. looks like he is ready to take off.....my only negative is perhaps moving his head a little to the upper right showing more of him. But I may be wrong. I posted a photograph of a peacock right above this and i did the same thing you did by putting the head right smack in the middle....so maybe it works i'm not sure.
