Funny, I went straight to the bird! IMO, the DOF works quite well, except that the area just below the beak is quite bright, and maybe that's why it was found "distracting".

Very peaceful. Tone fits the mood and scene. I'm surprised this was not a 6+ image.

Very cute - but for some reason I had to hunt through the details to make out the bird - I for some reason didn't see it right away. It wasn't until I saw your title that I realized the closed eyes, then it all came together. The sweet little bird is very camouflaged. I am not sure what you could do here to help direct the viewer's eyes. The OOF objects in the bottom right and top left are a little distracting from the photo. But regardless of that - very cute subject and great detail!
