Wished there had been a catchlight in the bird's eye. Other than that, much better than anything I've done yet. Keep up the great work.

Permalink Reply by Anatoliy on February 6, 2012 at 9:35am Truthfully speaking there is nothing special about this photo, for me it's just a photo of a bird. Try taking photos that have never been seen, from different perspective or anything that will truly make a photo unique.
Agree with both Nathan and Anatoliy,
it's a very common type of bird shot from a very ordinary POV which looks quite drab against the back ground.
Have a look at some of these shots below for comparison
