Thank you for all the comments, it was nice to read them. Some answers from me to you:

That's exactly why I decided to use this angle and not something else with a thin branch as in the original. Thanks.

Very close, he's a great tit, parus major.

Being this a tribute to the Bokeh winner, I must have kept something out of field of depth. This also helped me keeping the eyes on the tree and the birdie, not allowing them to wander around in a homogenously textured image.

I know it's not that good at all, but I like it better than most voters do. Thank you, anyway.

I'm going through my votes in reverse order and commenting on as many as I can .... this shot to me has a lot of potential and I actually think the grain......buh...'scuse me.....NOISE.....adds to the shot. That being said, it's lacking something to live up to the title.
Why am I going on? To me, artistically speaking, don't see going on here. Why would I leave the light to drop off the end into the dark?
I will say that you have me thinking....and, maybe that is the most important thing.....
I gave the photo a 3.

I like the enigma of this picture. railroad tracks into the ocean? a boardwalk upside-down? and I swear I see a ghostly pair of sneakers crossing the tracks.
