I am very drawn in by this image. The dark reflective bg, the soft lighting on the bird, and the feathers gently draping her (or his?) back give it a peaceful, quiet feeling. Here, too (ref my post on Al's PG), I like that the bird is unaffected by the photographer, as evidenced by the head position.
Hi Fabs,
actually I like your image very much.
I think there is a need to see not only pictues that are made in perfect front light, everything bright and clear.
I like the peaceful feeling of the image too.

I never thought much of a dark BG like that until I met Alex.....after that I considered it the "cat's meow". It's that Rembrandt look that I like......as if going back in time to visit works of the great masters. I wouldn't want an entire portfolio of them.....but I'd sure want a nice sample in there. Different......and nice.
