i think it is a very pretty picture but the backgroung instead of a sandy beach or ocean it looks like a blurry city. it could have been a 6 but minus 3 points.
Interesting and unusual bird shot. I like what you've done here a lot, but I'm just not sure if there's enough contrast between the bird and the background.
I think the problem might be the white area you have at the top left of the frame, it draws my attention because of the fact that the rest of it is so dark. When I cover that part with my hand the whole shot looks a lot better and the bird stands out much more clearly against the background.
