Definitely a tough guy. I really like the low angle and tight focus. Nice contrast with the bird as well. A catch light in the eye would have been nice. A dandy photo.
Love the puffed out pose and the blurred foot showing motion, Geir. Great low angle. I agree with Gail about trimming some off the bottom, as the out of focus area just seems too much. And another vote on warming it up a tad.
