Joel:
Your backgrounds are always so clean and the bokeh you create really makes the bird pop out. This one would be an all time best for me, but for your shots you usually have a bit more contrast difference between the bird and the background. With the light color of the background and the lightness of the bird (especially the breast), the bird gets lost a little. This is just persoanal taste, but since you asked, I prefer the House Finch background... it makes the bird pop more. Again, I do not imply it is not a great shot, but I think I prefer the higher contrast between the bird and background.
