I was going to comment that the background was distracting from the bird, but then I noticed the depression in the ground seems to match the sharpe of the bird. Almost like one of those cartoons where the character falls from a height and leaves a shaped impression of himself in the ground. Now it's a quirky and and oddly fascinating image.
Not quite to the same level of expertise as some of the other avian images in this challenge, the image is technically flawed in that the focus is much too soft and the difficult lighting situation leading to rather flat and dull coloring. The blank sky also enhances these two problems and makes the exposure faults stand out. A good effort that might have been improved with a little more patience waiting for a different angle and lighting or alternatively reducing shutter speed or aperature while manually focusing.
