Very, very funny. Your bird must think you're nuts.

I like the lighting and shadows, gives it some drama. My only complaint is the shorts - really out of place here. Looks like there's some air in them, probably from jumping in and out between shots... If you (or your model?) had worn cut-off jeans, especially faded, ratty ones, I'd have put this 2 points higher.
