Very quick, but I'd bump up the contrast by working in the deep purple of the background into the shadows on your bird. Then I'd bump up the contrast in the other direction by bringing even brighter highlights coming from the glowing puddi. I used a bright golden yellow with the brush set to screen mode. I selected the puddi and increased the saturation on it to make it pop, then brought some of the colors from the rest of the image in to help define its form (a low opacity purple from the bird's shadow to help round out the bottom of the puddi)

I also made your clouds in the bg asymmetrical and made one of them pass behind the bird's head to help increase depth.

Something else I'd do that I really forgot is really make the bottom of the wings softer. You don't want sharp edges on things that are a) soft and b) in motion.

tl;dr work all the colors in your image through all parts of the image, and pump up the contrast.
