Ohmygoodness! That is absolute flawless perfection in a bird photo. I can't believe this isn't one of the winners! Sheeeeeesh!

an excellent picture, but not a "creative way to use low dof"

I like the detail, as if the bird interest is caught elsewhere. But I do not see the shallow foreground as represented by the background being out of field.

I like everything about this photo. It meets the theme of the challenge, and it captures the beauty of this bird exquisitely!

This starling looks cold. Nice sharp focus however I feel the image could improve with the use of slightly wider DOF, to gain a bit of definition in the background and add context as well as a bit more sparkle in the eye.
