Nice image, and excellent title. It draws my attention to the position of the wings: one giving a peek at the body while the other keeps the butt covered. :) I have a little trouble distinguishing the subject from the background. I would like to see the color version of this. I am thinking that partial desaturation might be effective -- reducing the saturation of the background to almost B&W while maintaining or even boosting the colors in the bird. I like the light on the feathers.

The pic looks a little too busy for me. It's hard to focus on the subject. Maybe I need new glasses though.

Wow that almost looks like some sort of fluffy plant! Neat shot.
