Great shot, but how an earth did you get so close!!

I'm not normally too keen on this type of image, i.e. not the whole bird in the frame, but in this instance I think it works well mainly down to the impact and the strong composition with the diagonal lines formed by the wings, body and beak.

I agree with Justin on this. Not normally my cup of tea but works well with the lines.
