The pose is rather wicked, very cool. Reminiscent of a lawn dart (remember those? They are banned here in Canada ). Low angle and resulting BG are top notch. As for your question, yes, I do think that oof wing is unfortunate. I'd keep it anyhow as the pose is one-of-a-kind.

A difficult one to assess Artie, there are only so many picture perfect shots you can take in a career before you have to put the arty streak into gear.
For me, the wing is too distracting and would probably be a deleted frame, but once the accompanying explanation is give, I found I'd learned a new behavioural aspect that I didn't know about before.
Maybe it needs to be part of a sequence, or at least part of a written article rather than a stand alone shot.

Hi Artie, I appreciate this frame for its behavioral merit, reminds me of a fencing match, or a sumo wrestler bowing before the opponet jumped the gun... Your PS skills are remarkable as the detail on the head is impeccable, well done again, i also like the fanned feathers throughout.
cheers, Ann

For me the intruding wing of the second bird ruins the shot, most unfortunate because the pose of the main subject really makes it very interesting.

Hi Artie,
To answer your question, I think the wing is a huge distraction.
Too bad because the pose of the ppep is really god and you have a great POV,

I am loving it.
It tells the story. In just one frame.
A keeper IMO
Warmest regards,
