Wow. That bird could not have chosen a better branch to sit on for you to take this photo.
Wonderful framing. If you didn't find any of the comments you received helpful, then I'm not sure if I will be of much help either, since the comments you received were right on in my opinion.
I do think that the take on the challenge is great. I like the way the branches frame the bird and the DOF really helps this.
There is great depth in this shot and really draws the focus to the bird, without taking the focus away from the branches.
I'm not sure weather I like the one vertical branch on the right or not. One opinion is that it gives the bird something to focus on...like he's going to chose that one branch, however, then it also draws our attention away from the bird a bit, but then that's ok too since the challenge is all about the branch, and not the bird. So, I'm thinking that I like it.
Lighting is ok, seems like a bit of a dreary day. too bad the sky wasn't a neater shade of blue to add some color interest, however, you don't get this shot every day, so not likely for a reshoot. Did you try bumping the blues in the shot? might help. something worth trying anyway.
Focus on the bird is ok. We don't get a lot of detail on him, which may be due to the slight shadow, but not a big deal.
Overall a very neat find.

| Out of all the busy activity sits the solo serene subject. Just a wonderful study in standing out from the crowd. I love it. 8. |

| nice idea. except that the branches closest to the lens are a bit out of focus which is somewhat distracting. |

Nice shot it looks like the bird has put itself in the perfect place to take the picture . But we know thats not the way it works taking wildlife pictures.
Its a 10 to me.

| Very nice. This is too busy for anything but a branch themed shot. The title brings it together. A little less shadow on the bird would have been nice with a little more brightness to that redbreast. |

| Great title and interesting idea... I think a more interesting background would have helped. |

| 8 - This is a great shot and very good for the Challenge. Criticism; not much, maybe the bird slightly to the left more in the frame, different cropping, especially to excluse that bottom right blurred branch, would have made this a better shot in my opinion. I like how you have managed to keep so many branches in focus, as well as the bird. |

What a lovely shot. The natural frameing is perfect and so is your DOF.
The bird has just enough color. Good work - 10 |

| Focus appears to be right on the birds eye, which is perfect. I feel that a closer crop or shallower DOF would have helped though as the whole image is too busy. |

| Nice clear shot of the robin. This would be cool with a single sat of the reddish brown and everything else in black and white. Just a fun suggestion. I like the complexity of all the limbs around him. Nice title too. |

| The composition here is really quite good. A few points off only because the pov is more the bird than the branches - 6 |

| Nice take of the bird. I would have cropped it closer to try and get rid of the blurred branches in the foreground. |
