I love the contrast of the squiggly branches with the squiggly neck. You've captured great detail in the feathers and the colors are rendered excellently. 8

I love how his neck echoes the lines (branhes?) around him. Well seen.

the spindles of the branches, the turn of the head, the bright colors of the feathers - very cool interaction of shapes - i am just not sure about the choice of crop - the bit of growth in the top left is slightly distracting

The branches in the front are very distracting, but I know we have often to do with it. Nice picture!
