I was trying to get the silloutted profile of this boat-tailed-grackle when it suddenly started flying.

Very good, I like it even more now. I think your crop improved the composition. Photography sure is addictive, good thing it's not that harmful. ;)

How does it look now? I did crop it before going to work... (Photography is addictive, huh?)

Thanks for the comments Gowan. You're right about the cropping. I will do so after I come home tonight :) The reason that bottle is there is because I was eating lunch at a seaside place and this grackle was just on the outside low wall of the restaurant. And there was a bottle of hot sauce right in the middle :)

This is quite a dynamic capture thanks to the implied movement. The colours are a bit different, pastel-like which I find attractive. I find the bottle (?) at the bottom of the frame a bit of a distraction and I think there is a little too much negative space at the left of the frame. A crop might improve this image.
