I often wonder when seeing these types of images how to write a constructive criticism that won't offend the recipient. You see, to me this isn't a photo. It's a creation of your photo editing ability and for that I'll say, very nicely done. But, it looks to me like you've taken a photo of a bird and placed it on a photo of an apple tree branch and then use some PS editing and tweaking. You do take wonderful photographs and I have no problem with anybody editing their photos, but much like HDR sometimes it can go too far.
@gamelee That's ok to comment like that about my creations. I just get bored taking straight photographs and like to make these unreal looking backgrounds for the animals/birds that I photograph. I am hopeless at art and would love to be able to draw or paint so this is just a way of being creative. I know it's not to everyone's taste and that's ok. We can't all be the same can we? I'm not offended, in fact I thank you for going to the trouble of looking and then critiquing my image. At least you are looking at my work and being brave enough to say what you think. I like that.
