The subject is a little too centered for my liking and the tree trunk on the right side is a bit distracting and takes the attention away from the main subject. I think a tighter crop would have worked better here.
Background:
The background is perfect for this subject and compliments it very well. I like the bokeh and the way it contrasts against the foreground without being distracting.
My opinion:
I would have personally given this picture a 6. It meets the challenge just fine but I am not crazy about the crop. I like the colors and the subject but I really would have liked to see more of the bird and less of the surroundings. Perhaps the bird's head filling the frame would have had a much stonger impact.
