** Greetings from the Critique Club **

This is a beautiful shot! I love the softness, only would have liked to see the tail less blurry. The subtle color tones are very complimentary.
Excellent bokeh! Focus was right on.

This is so cute! Nice job but I think the branch could have been more in focus.

This is excellent. The slight blurring of the tail almost makes it look like an acrylic painting .
This is my "10" vote

The tail is too blurry, and I don't like the uneven tones in the background, but other than that it'a a nice picture.

A beautiful shot of the bird, but for this challenge pulling back a bit and letting the bird just be a decoration on the branch rather than overpowering it would have suited more.
