Too bad the foreground leaf is right over the cardinal's body! This would be spectacular otherwise.

2 - From what I can discern, looks like good potential here. Criticism; firstly needs to be 640, in this case width. From what I can discern, the cardinal is not as sharp as the palm frond/leaf behind it, so sharper focus on the 'main subject', possibly a tighter crop (quality dependent) and again the size, which would also allow for more of the shallow DOF to be 'seen', would all have made this better in my opinion. edit:typo
