The motion blur of the wings is very striking at first. But with this style it leaves out alot of detail in the face and wings. I am not saying either is wrong. Just two different styles to approach.
The grass to me has a bluish tint and under exposed. I do find the colors and contrast to be refreshing and spot on. The legs seem a bit odd to me.
The overall placement is well balanced. The viewer sees the main subject without having anything competeing with it. I also like the lack of a border. I do not have anything against borders but find you really did not need one.
Wonderful wing action! The red seems a bit off--did you up the saturation on this?
Hard to capture these quick birds other than on a perch, I applaud the effort.
Grass, however, is one of the dreariest background imaginable for most subjects.
Thanks for your complement. I only used levels in photoshop to adjust the color. The photo was a little dark to start with - underexposed.

I love the fan effect his wings make. Maybe crop more of the green grass from the bottom and sides to really have a tight frame on him. If you can enhance the red anymore that might also really bring him out.
Beautiful colors on this shot. The motion blur is interesting. I like it, but at the same time, I think it distracts a little from the detail of the feathers and the bird. But it definitely makes the shot more interesting than just a bird standing around :-)
