I see what you were trying to do, nice idea, maybe a little closer or a different perspective? Needs something to make it snap a little...

Comment by ExoticChaos:
I like how you composed the blooming tree as the main focus and the smaller trees in the background. The curve of the road adds interest. Beautiful image!

Comment by whagerbaumer:
The ground does not offer much contrast for the ankles and feet. Maybe taking th picture from ground level would help. That would also emphasize the height of a bird designed to be tall. The lighting could also be improved.

Comment by melismatica:
This is a cool rusted item but this dead on perspective doesn't capture the liveliness of the sculpture. That background is plain boring and it takes up the bulk of the frame. It looks like you were too concerned with getting the entire sculpture in the shot. That's not necessary to make a powerful statement. The only reason you would need to have the whole bird in the shot is for pure representational documenting.
