Good lighting, and nice color. Looks really sharp, especially with the OOF background. Very pretty!

I love the DOF - maybe a tighter crop? Still a great entry!

What a wonderful and interesting composition! I love the expression on the primary purple finch but the inclusion of the female (juvenile?) softly out of focus in the lower right corner...it's unusual but it works for me.

Gorgeous DOF and colours-very beautiful! Kind of wish the other bird would fly away!

a little soft either from focus or camera movement. Having the second bird in the frame I would have moved them both to the left a bit so the whole bird on the right is in the frame even though he is out of focus. colors, contrast and saturation all look good.

The second bird in the corner distracts from your subject. A tighter crop, with your subject in the lower left corner looking across the frame, might have scored better.

Nice capture, the choice to focus on one bird makes this.

I like the bird's coloring - very nice bits of not over the top red. Good catch in the pose, and nice supporting background.

Lovely composition, nice even light, nice and clear. Is this a redpoll?

very good focus and natural color. too much empty space at left for my taste, a slight turn to the right had also brought mre of the second bird into the shot.
