I gave this a higher mark than I normally would due to the potential for this to be a very good shot with just a couple of small tweaks, especially cropping. The problem with all impromptu shots is that they *are* in the spur of the moment, and thus don't always fit into the nice, neat boxes of "form" and "composition" that we might prefer to see. For me, as much as I enjoy all the benefits of digital photography, the one thing that I dislike so much about it is that it is so easy to correct minor flaws that we expect every shot to be perfect. Sometimes a little imperfection makes for a better photograph, and I felt that this was one such case. Crop it as a vertical image, which will eliminate 80% of the overlit background, and I think you've got a shot that you'll be pleased to blow up to 8x10 and hang on a wall.

Birds are amazing; the man and the bird almost seem to be close friends. Nice skin and feather tones . I think a more vertical crop to minimize the woman on the left, and the extra space to the right, might be of benefit.
