Was it your intent to focus on the grass as opposed to the bird?

Pretty colors, but for me it was distracting to have the BIRD be out of focus and one layer of GRASS be in focus. It was surprising and odd. Perhaps I am too much a traditionalist though... it may be a new way of looking at things.

yeah, i thought it 'not the normal' which is sometimes good - a different way of looking at things. thanks for commenting.

There is definitely selective focus at work here, but it looks almost like it was accidental. I can see how it is abstract ot have the bird out of focus and hard to get a handle on. However, having the patch of grass in focus - but not the bird - doesn't work for me. It seems too contrived and forced. Also, consider cropping the top (the background) as it adds nothing to this shot.
