Not sure that super shallow DOF was what this challenge was going for? Especially without something in the bg to look at, be drawn into. Couple of things from a photography viewpoint, IMO ... the bird is very tight to the upper right corner and could use some breathing room and then the tail feathers are not fully captured. Last thing is the sensor dust spots. Those can be legally fixed in post simply with a healing brush.

Beautiful the coloration between the bird, the stem it is perched on and the background make the whole image wonderful.
