Wow! Nice. Intense colours, I like it. Actually, what I really like is the movement in the water in front. Is that a star?

You made your mum look beautiful! I like the dark background, it makes the soft green and the beautiful hair colours stand out. I also like the very genuine expression. Good work.

The bokeh is alright, except for that one out of focus stick to the left of the bird (and the bird seems to be looking at it - it isn't but the direction of the eyes lead you to that OOF post). I think the background loses effectiveness to the top, where you have the OOF grasses - it's like you're including too much extraneous information. I wish there was a little more at the bottom of the image, possibly a little less at top, and also possibly that the bird would be more towards the right hand side of the frame looking into it, rather than in the middle at bottom.

The light looks to be a tad harsh. Both the bird and the fence are a tad too contrasty at top. The flowers in the background also look a bit too bright to make a truly soft bokeh (notice all the yellow outlines).

In other words, a lot of potential, but possibly a bit better light and more careful composition would improve a photo like this quite a bit.

I do hope this helps.
