Actually I cropped a image a bit to make the Tigress look more prominent. But I can understand your point as well. Maybe she will look better if I include her tail.
I’ll try to include her tail and also decrease the vibrance a bit. 🙂

The bird looks sharp. Feather details is present and catchlight is present. The only thing is, my eyes are jumping from the bird to the branch (on the left side) and to the brown out of focus mud (on the background). Probably, you could try to remove that branch and smooth out the background elements more in post processing.
