very nice composition and use of DOF. What lens / setting did you use?

like I said. Amazing. Perfect. Don't change anything. the picture is worth more than its score. This is a typical exemple where you should look at the quality beyond the DPC score which has its limitations.

comment related to your "pointers to what doesn't work" question. First, with a 6.94 score, I wouldn't say it has not worked. My take is that it lacks the high contrast tack sharp details that seem to work better on average here (too "dirty"). But at this stage, I would not change anything, unless your only goal is to collect ribbons. Because this photo is at least worth the ones that ribboned - if not better. - as it is. (for one it is perfectly sharp, imho, where it needs to be, no more).

Great pastels colors. I'm not usually a big fan of overall blur effect, but it does work here. The thing that look a bit strange is the white stuff on the pier. I guess it may be a wave coming from the other side? but then it is kind frozen at a strange moment?

overexposed / wash-out. Very detrimental to the overall result. Crop/composition is ok though.

you've got an exposure issue. The highlights are completely blown out, in most than half of your photo.

You say "blown highlights" like it's a bad thing!

I'm usually not a great fan of bird shots, but this one is excellent. The red bird, the tones of the background, the details of the bird, the blur behind. Everything is perfect. My favorite of this month. 10
