Is it because we expect the feeder to be vertical, as though it is a post? Perhaps in a shot where the shape of the (suspended?) feeder was visible the swing might actually make for a more dynamic photo, as the bird is just arriving to land? Anyway an interesting and technically impressive shot. For fun, try some other crops with the angle increased?
