If you have photoshop you should use the Save for Web feature, it will get your photo close to the maximum allowable size 150 kb and 640 pixels which will show the most details. Your image is only 600 pixels wide. Here is a DPC tutorial to help you.
I am not sure how close you cropped, but it may have worked a little better if the bird was in the bottom right corner and moving into the photo rather swimming out of the image. Just my opinion.

A bit over saturated for my liking. And not really getting 'play' out of this.
