This has been processed in a way that bridges the ether between photo and graphic design. What could have been banal and cliche is improved greatly by the PP work. Well done!
It looks like he's doing Zazen, the processing captures the ambiance perfectly. You get a 9 and this for being there but if i met the bird i'd give him a 10.
I find this one oddly appealing. Wish you'd done more spot touch-up to get rid of light specks in the background, but otherwise the processing really works for this image.
