Beautiful shot. I changed your composition just a bit. Take a look at my website sometime. I have a shot very similar. The only thing I would have changed and it's nature not you, is the bird on the right, if we could just see his face.

Nice light and the lens compression is beautiful. I am guessin 400 or 500mm.

Enjoy

P.S.

Thanks to you fine people I have been practicing this smudge technique and this was my first one. Please feel free to offer critiques and ideas.

Wow for the capture PM and double (or quadruple) wow for the renditions thus far. Been in a sketchy mood of late and used outlines and a grundge mixture for the final result.
