good overall,but may need putting in focus a bit more

Beautiful coloring, Love the texture in this one, a bit grainy but good composition.

There seems to be a lot of strange compression here, and the entire picture suffers from an unpleasant blue tint. It's not a bad shot, but it falls quite short of "great."

love this.. just how bright this little one is against the flat background. Looks like a digital red line at the top of the crest?

Appears oversaturated to me.

What lovely colors on this bird.....

That enhanced blue color on the Jay really sets the bird off.

Very pixellated...could be really nice if not for that.

great bird and colour but it looks like it was a crop of a much larger shot and has suffered clarity as a result, so the shot looks a little flat

Something wrong with color balance. Sharpness also is tad off.
Subject itself is good, though she's in pretty messy environment and cant really show off her colors.
I say this is nice try and good subject, background is the main problem.
