Composition is good, though I think for this particular challenge, a mild fill flash of some sort would have accentuated the form of the study. Also, I think a full body shot would have better conveyed the "science" theme. All in all, I like your approach to this challenge.
I really the way the backround is almost the same tone as the bird, but not quite. I think it could be more powerful if the light was coming from the other dirrections, or the birds head turned towards the light, so that there were more details on the birds eye. I bet it is extremely hard to get birds to pose for pictures however. Overall I like this alot, 7.
