I was taking some pictures of the bird in the forground (and his friend who was beside him at the time). As luck would have it as I was clicking this one his buddy took of to a further perch.

Yes the picture was slightly out of focus. Yes I could have done some advanced editing. And the sientific principal I was capturing was flight hence the title "lift and drag" (I could have added gravity and thrust but I thought the title might be a bit long if I did). I could have caught an actual bird in flight (i.e. use one of the other pictures I took this day) I didn't because I personally liked the action behind being out of focus.
I'm not real sure what this has to do with science but I'll grade your photo.
The DOF is great however the entire image looks like a straight from the camera shot. There is no real sharpness to the image and the colors don't really pop out at me. The stick behind the bird is distracting and the image isn't straight. Rule of Thirds needs to be applied here. This is an advanced editing challenge and you should take full advantage of that.
