Sharp-Tailed Grouse 2

Thanks so much for all the kind comments on my last grouse. You motivated me to post another. This bird is common around grain fields in my area. They are a heavily hunted game bird and correspondingly shy.
I like the soft light, the pose, and that the bird is fairly sharp from head to tail.
I cropped from horizontal to vertical partly because of a post in front of the bird, and partly because I liked the vertical comp. But I think the comp is too tight. Adding canvas here is difficult for me. I did add canvas to the bottom of the image, and cloned out an oof bird at the top right, but I am afraid these efforts were a little amateurish.
D90, 300f4, 1/160, natural light, tripod, blind. Uncalibrated monitor.
Comments, suggestions, and honest criticism appreciated.
