I like the blurred wings as well....especially with the head so sharp. You sure did well given there wasn't much light. For some reason I find the left part of the barbed wire that is OOF drawing my eye. I know you didn't have much room for more DOF so I'm wondering if a slightly different crop might remove at least some of it.

Rosl,
I love the affect here with the intentional blur. I have tried these and never gotten one as nice as this. I agree with Lana on the left side being a bit distracting. I also felt that the image needed a contrast enhancement which I did in the repost. I cropped to eliminate the left side.
Local contrast enhancement was USM on a BG layer at amount 20/ radius 60/ threshold 4.
