Greetings from the Critique Club and congrats on the high placement and score.
Obviously a solid image. I've read through the many comments you have already and will try not to repeat.
Suggestions: the midground is the weaker area (as the dof and bird are excellent) It's a bit cluttered with light colored branches and distracts my eye from the subject. The branch "growing" out the of the bird's head weakens the composition as well. I offer these observations not because you could necessarily control where the bird lands but more from a "here's what detracts" pov. Cropping out the right stick (from about the center and to the right edge) might simplify the compostion and remove some of the clutter -- just a thought.
Again, strong image and the suggestion is only one woman's opinion.
Please email me with any questions and Happy shooting :)
Beautiful composition and color--(I have know what camera brand you've used). Though I tend not to like frames, it works very well with this--this is a 10 in my book
The bird seems a bit out of focus, and the challenge response would have been more strong by relaxing the focus on the bird and backing off. Then it becomes a beautiful and colourful jewel on a limb (branch) which reclaims the dominance of the composition.
Lovely sharp focus on the bird, and the colour and contrast are excellent. Background and branches are a bit distracting though, shallower DOF would have helped.
