amazing post-processing... almost like an art work...

@Babul Bhatt: Thanks so much. I actually did not do a lot of post-processing on this. Just a bump on the contrast and a little saturation. The texture you see comes from shooting through the wires of the cage with a long lens.

Hey did u do the background? Looks really cool. Nice way of bokeh.

@Levine: Thanks so much for your comment. The background texture was actually created by shooting through the wires of the cage. The Kookaburra was actually about 8 feet away from the wires and since I was using a long lens, when I focused on the bird, it diffused the wires of the cage, creating the effect you notice.
