the image is lacking in contrast, and its been done so much that I think it doesnt really have an impact.

i feel like this bird is going to swoop down and eat me like a mouse. i like the slight glow around it. maybe a little too much sky for it to be such a boring sky. I would've bumped up the saturation on the blue. but don't listen to me, people always say i over process.
