It's got strong points, for sure, but everyone seems to have those handled. I'd rather tell you about how it's visually cluttered, and how there's little to no relationship between the lights and darks making it even more confusing. In there you got red, yellow, black, and white... did you need the yellow? I'm not exactly sure how it's adding to it. Sorry, splatters don't mean anything to me.
It looks like you put a lot of effort into that vulture, if you just toned down the effects then the composition would do the rest for you, as it's already drawing my eye to the head.
