I gave this a 6. It took a good staring to figure out what was going on here, but even before I did, I found the abstract qualities very pleasing. I love his big black feather and the colorful mottle of bokeh. Once you find his face he is absolutely adorable. Like a true team sucker, you are guilty of posting a shot that is too interesting for the four second crowd. Technically, I think your focus is great, your composition puts his wee closed eye near a third intersection and his neck starts the swirl of golden mean. The only thing I might have done differently would be to saturate the bird's blue selectively, so that the sky didn't compete and you don't get blues seeping in indiscriminately. This really deserved to score higher.

There's a really cool thing I don't know if you noticed - the curl of the dark headfeather thingie is echoed by little blue dots of sky in the background. A good shot, and a different perspective on one of these guys.

I love how there are just 3 main colors, black, red and green and the pop of yellow that comes through. Also how the colors repeat throughout the frame is a working plus. Very rich colors. I might have cropped just a bit off the bottom myself to remove the other yellow spots, but that is just a minor nitpick. Wonderful photo and glad it did well for you!
