I think you've got a terrific shot here. It looks like the front feathers ('chest' area) are a wee bit sharper than it's head/beak/eye, but it doesn't take away from the image at all. The bokeh/dof is really great. I love all the different colors. It really makes the bird stand out. Nice comp. and I like the square crop as well. Great job.

I wish I could catch sunrays like this. I try and try and never manage to do it.

Cool shot. I like how you were able to keep him relatively sharp and only show motion in his hands. That's hard to do with low light conditions. I like the blue light as well.

This should have placed higher. There are quite a few shots that this easily passes. Sometimes I don't understand the outcome of these challenges. :-/
