Love the bird and the foreground catkins. Agree with Karen regarding the background, perhaps a bit of that photoshop blurring wizardry might help?

A really nice portrait of a bird doing something. The comp is spot on as is the exposure and timing. As for the background, I think there is enough punch in the main subject to off-set the 'intrusion' of the BG - personally I feel it adds to the story.

Cheers,
Chris
