Like the crop on this, tight, to the point although it could be more about fingers rather than hand.

A cooperative model,posing just so, how lucky you were. Do you think a bit more of a tigher crop would strengthen this image? Perhaps try a portrait frame. The technical elements are well done with no clipping seen at all and great eye catchment technique.

Try a portrait crop. Portrait crops are higher than they are wider. Just see if that strengthens the shot....I think it might bring in more nobility to this handsome fellow.

Hmmmm yes, I understand. I am new to this site and am surprised to learn that when we look at uploaded photos on the hi-res button they are much clearer...maybe your crow would look great if you direct the viewer to study it under hi-res button?
