Cracking shot of this bird Clement.

This isn't a critique, but more an open thought process, and I might be wildly off the mark as you are the author, but I'm not overly keen on the bg. Reminds me too much of Gaussian Blur. Crikey, I can't moan as I've been playing with Topaz Glow like the devil, but to me, the opacity appears to have changed.
Make your life spectacular!

Dave you are right.. due to higher ISO I had applied Neatimage 2 times to smoothen the BG..
