I don't know why, but those OOF flowers and leaves in the foreground
bother me.  Usually they wouldn't, but today they do.  Maybe I'm just
having an off day.  Maybe it's because they appear to be in the
foreground rather than the background.

The bird is wonderfully sharp and the composition is good.

cheers,
frank
