Possibly, but your focus is on the stick to the right of the sleeping baby such that your sleeping baby becomes a part of the OOF background.

Like the foreground bokeh but not quite focused on the birdy

This would have been better if the focus had been sharp on the bird.

It’s a shame the sky is so flat and dull. It’s a nice subject that needs a little more vibrance – perhaps a small boost of contrast would help. The foreground starts to far away for me. A lower camera position would have helped with that.

From the Critique Club

First off I can't help but feel you may have entered this in the wrong challenge as a lot other commenter's have suggested. If so it is a shame because you have a great picture here that with a little more post processing would of made a great challenge entry. Even with your score be proud of your photo because it is very good.

Composition and lighting is nice and the dof is great. The bird is slightly soft focus but could of been enhanced in editing. The subject looks very good against the broken background. There is not much more to add that others have not brought to your attention. I find in this case not meeting the challenge really brought your score lower than it should of been.

Overall a very good photograph with a little more processing could of made it great. Also entering it in another challenge would of helped. I wish you the best in future challenges and I hope you find this critique helpful. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
regards,
SDW

Pity you didn't correct your horizon, it's tilted and should've been rotated to the left. Very nice natural green though. 5
