nice BG and great moment!

Lovely painterly look to this image, Jose. BG of beach and clouds is really attractive. Bird's pose unfortunately looks like a startle response to the shutter going off - were you lying close or did you use a remote trigger? I would be tempted to remove the near figure on the beach in the lower left and the small dark intrusions into the right upper part of the frame.

I really like this although it breaks a few guidelines. It makes me think of Dali and Magritte. Shaving some off the left will put the bird off center (you like centered huh? :) ) and still keep the landscape feel of this one.
The perpective distortion of the tail adds to the surreal feeling. Wish it were mine ;)
