Bob, this is a beautiful bird and the texturized BG is good. I am having trouble seeing "Asian Flair" here though? Even knowing that the shot was made in Hong Kong! You might consider adding space on the left and above the bird and maybe some kind of small chop and/or Asian calligraphy in the added area.:)
Bob, Really nice image! I think the BG texture is awesome! I like the bit of blur and you've got some great colors! I agree w/ Dan,a chop or symbols would add to the feel!!
