I like the subject and composition of this shot. However, I find it's still too bright around the edges and it takes your attention away from the rooster.
The brightness on the sides here really detract from the subject here. I can see you cropping the subject with perhaps an upright oval shaped frame which would really make that bird stand out from everything else.
For in and out, above, about, below,
'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,
Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,
Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.
