nice bokeh, beautiful shot/subject. i imagine if you had waited for him to come down a few inches and if you had gone just for a headshot, you would have scored higher.
A beauty very well captured with a touch of bokeh to enhance the charm. By the way these are my wife's school colors and feels impartial to this image hence the extra point. 8
nice colors and composition, great use of bokeh, the only thing is that I wish there were more contrast or something to bring the bird out from the left side of the background, 8
