Wonderful image. To give you some background, I generally do not care much for nature shots, and especially bird shots. But this goes way beyond the ordinary. It is actually a bird "portrait", with a great deal of personality and attitude in your subject, if that's possible. The framing, pose, lighting, texture, selective focus, and grunge edit effect all add to the striking quality of the photo.
