The scratches and details work well, to distract us and envelope us into the absurdly mundane plot. Excellent.

Comment by ubique:
So often in photography the real decisive moment is actually the frame before, or the frame after, THE moment that most photographers would think of as the perfect one. Something about to happen, or as in this case something that has just happened. That's a wonderful thing about photography as a medium: you can depict the 'moment-and-a-half' so well. You never see a painting or a sculpture (or a novel or a poem) that offers its audience a view of an event that's apparently so negligently depicted as to be almost missed, and get away with it. The complete bird is all the better illustrated in your picture by not being complete. The viewer soars with the bird here, which is much more fun and inspiring than is sitting around pecking a few seeds. The texture is apt enough too; it is a subliminal nudge for the viewer in the direction of perfect imperfection. And yet, the photographic rendering of the bird's tail feathers is actually quite high-fidelity. Which proves as well that you don't have to be blurry to be artistic! Here it's the concept that's 'blurry', intentionally so, and to great effect. Lovely photograph. Thank you.

Perfect capture of the bird right down to the downy feathers. Nice tones and the grungy filter works well.
