Well done, its great focus for detail, very crisp.
Framing is good .
DOF is excellent.
The uniqueness of the piece in the mouth is good.
DOf in the foreground is , for me a bit too narrow, look at the right edge of the post, its in crisp, the left is out, so , to me this scene it needs the post in focus , all of it. Background out is great. The bottom left out of focus just pulls my eyes a bit and doesnt fit the rest.
Nice shot
Jim

Nice sharp image of the bird snacking on a sunflower seed. I have these same exact birds in my yard also. Sharp focus with a good background blur and colors. Nice composition with good impact. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Jane Jenkins
Terrific photo. What a friendly looking little lady - I think the female birds are less colorful than the males, right? The eye is captivating - gives such a warm expression to the composition. Actually catching her with her mouth full is unusual and she was probably mortified because ladies shouldn't be caught that way. :) Great composition and light. Detail is excellent. Depth of field allows the bird and her supper to command the full attention of the viewer. Great shot.

Thank you so much. For this bird they look the same. It is true most species, the male is the colorful one.
