Nice image. Liked the symmetry. Wish they were close for more details. You can try to include more of the habitat instead of cropping. Thanks for sharing.

The downward wingspread looks nice. Since you have a 250mm lens, it is always better to try and get habitat images. When you crop the viewers will immediately notice the lack of details. You should try to compose shots with deep depth of field and close to full frame. That will need a lot discipline as each element has to be in place.
