Racket-Tailed Roller

I can't tell you much about this photo. It was taken with our old Canon Rebel film camera. I have no clue what settings were used, and can only guess that it was taken through our Canon 80-200mm lens. But after that great bird photo yesterday, I figured I'd continue with another.
This is a racket-tailed roller (Coracias spatulatus). The shot was taken at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio over four years ago.
I like the grainy look that the film gives this shot, and the beautiful bokeh in the the background is a nice offset to the bright colors of the bird. There's even a nice catch-light in that tiny little eye.
What do you think?
