I hate most bird and squirrel pictures because theyre rediculously over rated and too easy to shoot, but this looks like a fantastic shot to me! It would have turned out a bit better if you had focused it a little better (although you dont want the bird to fly away, of course) or if you had first saved it as a BMP and sharpened it and then saved it as a JPEG, then perhaps it wouldnt have turned out as fuzzy.. Still, I would have given it an 8-9..

The composition is really good, but the image looks soft - perhaps a bit of camera shake from a slow shutter speed.

You caught the bird with such a sweet look on it's face. With advanced editing, you could have removed a couple of the bright spots in teh background, but this is a nicely done picture.

Focus seems a bit off or else it's just not very sharp. THere's also a lot of jpeg artifacting. Very pretty bird though.
