Cardinal (female)

When I first looked at this image I didn't like it . It seemed that the focus was to soft and the foreground was cluttered. But for some reason I kept coming back to it. I finally decided maybe I liked the soft focus and almost muted light and tones. I'm not sure why but the adjective that comes to mind is "Dreamy". The shot was threaded through a little opening in a tangle of pine boughs and overhanging branches, hence the surrounding clutter. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
