Took me a while to get it !'
I ,like it but reckon it could loose some off the left and maybe the top too. Others will seei t differently no doubt abou tthis one !

I like (no,I love..) the idea you are trying to execute here, but I feel the bird is just a little too buried in the white... I am viewing on an uncalibrated monitor but I can determine all the bars in the luminance scale bottom of screen, but I cannot see all the outline of the bird and IMHO that's important...Just a touch more definition to the bird and this could be a winner for me...
The idea is given with this bird and it is a good one. However, a little more definition would be nicer. Also, I find that the in focus branch right to the bird is overpowering the image.
Trim from the left and top and work on the whites (I think you have detail hiding in them) and then i think you have something special here. Kind of like a little puzzle.
This is a brain teaser, and I love it. Agree on cropping some from the left to tighten it up a bit. See what you get working on the whites a little but either way this is a fine image.
