Great shot in every way. Sharp, not overdone in any way, great color tones and right to the point. 10 from me!

I'd rather the subject of the movie be in focus in the picture

I like the blur of the claw, makes it seem more deadly.

Comment by posthumous:
one of the things I've learned from voting this challenge is that balanced compositions don't make for good movie posters. They tend to create a sense of satisfaction, which is fine for viewing a photo, but not good for making a viewer want to see more. For that reason, and also because the claw would be more threatening if there were some space underneath it, this picture isn't convincing me that there's a whole movie worth seeing about a parrot claw, even if it deadly. It's close, though. The head and claw are great. A different crop might have done it.

What made this shot for me was NOT the lack of a gilded cage.... instead it was the wonderful angles that brought your eyes to the focal point.... good job!
