I know it's weird but I chose this picture because I like piano player like posture

The chick and the piano-playing pose is very nice...background is good too with an indication of environment. You low shooting angle is also good.
The out of focus foreground object the dominates the central portion of the image I find rather distracting.

Thank you for your critique which I agree with

This chick really liked this piece of wood and was only resting nearby so I didn't really have a chance to get him at rest away from this drift wood.

Very nice indeed! Graeme has covered all my points Andrew, and the chick staying near the driftwood will make it less conspicuous from aerial predators, so a wise move - perhaps that's all that's left from its piano.
