Absolutely love the pose and the details I can see on the tail feathers. I really have an up close view of this bird leaving the 'stage'. B&W tones are great too and the best choice to show off the lines, form and textural detail. That said I do have a critique/suggestion that I think would help boost the visual appeal. I don't know how close or if you had to crop a huge portion away to get the bird in the frame, but there is a large amount of noise visible in the background. If this is heavily cropped it may be difficult to get rid of the noise which is a shame because the noise/image grain in this composition does little to compliment the scene. If it is not heavily cropped a good Denoise program could give cleaner results.
