Nice capture. Focus seems a bit off on the bird's head/eye. Too bad about the crop toes too. Great use of DOF.

7 - Nice difficult capture. Criticism; obviously opportune, but sharper/more definition make this even better in my opinion. 'If only' the 'foot' not cropped, but this is likely what you had to work with. Good composition and nice colors.

great shot with great dof and colour...nice bokeh in your lens...would have liked to have seen the entire botom branch that the bird is standing on, but otherwise a great shot

It seems that the focus isn't quite where it should be. The branch in the top left hand corner keeps catching my attention. Other than that, I love the bird, the pose, the composition, the DOF and the colors. 7

Not often a photo here is educational. Good catch, composition, and exposure.
