Gus,
As you might know, I do not comment on other work. Not feeling qualified to do so. In this case, I will.
I love the picture. One of the things I try to capture is, in my humble opinion, birds have fates and destinies like humans. This image shows that to me. The picture goes beyond the outer layer and you demonstrate the cognitive aspect of this wonderful creature.
"Mr. Clean"
