Nice sharp head with the blur of the wings works very well against that lovely background.

Love how you've managed to get the wings movement to help convey the message. The only think I'm not so keen on is the solid green background, I'd like to see just a tad more texture and/or colours. As it is the bird & branch look stuck-on (I know they aren't, they just looked that way to me). Otherwise a perfect 10!
