I'd like to see this without the filter. The birds in his lap kind of all blur together in a blob of grey. I think I'd like to have it more straight on so that the bench was level rather than slope down to the right. Even though he's centered, I like the composition. The way he's leaning forward and looking at the camera is great! And the bird on his shoulder makes it.
Could you post one without the filter? I'd really like to see that.
