Looks like a lot of cropping, lost some detail in the feathers and created a little noise.

Very vibrant little fellow! I didn't know there were so many different varieties of bluebirds. Good solid shot of this guy.

Nice composition, color, and contrast. Well done. Odd ghosting effect on edges. Is that from USM? 6
