It's so small, it is hard to tell if the cardinal is in focus.

This is very nice, I wish it were bigger so we could see more details of the bird though.

You'll probably get lots of comments that this is too small. It is hard to see; but I like the composition and subject a lot.

I can see the shallow dof even though the photo is too small. How much of the focused subject is in focus is hard to tell.

No doubt you have been told its too small! Shame because this would have done much better if it was larger, never mind its all a learing curve here. Good luck

Too small, a little dark and I can't tell if what's supposed to be in focus is in focus or not...

too small and out of focus.

I wish it were larger but it's a nice shot.

It would have been better if you made it larger. The DOF is nice though.

Tis a wee small...the pic, not the birdie.

I like the way you used shallow depth of field. I think the cardinal would be better if it were brightened up using curves or levels, even if that meant the background would go lighter.

This looks like such a lovely shot, but it is posted so small it is very hard to see. Too bad because I think that will hurt this shot in voting

Needs a little bit of work on the focus.

This is a really great capture. I really like the use of shallow DOF here. I know from experience it can be difficult to get a 640 pixel-wide image and maintain sharpness, but you may find your scores will be higher if you include a larger photo size next time. Good luck with this one. It's very nice.

Pity this picture isn't bigger. Can't see the DOF effect properly but looks a good effort.
