I'm with @R2elk on this one. What were your settings? Focus is a little bit soft.

I'd like the first one better if the Robin's face was more flat and not so dark. The soft background looks great. In the second one, the background almost camouflages the bird.

Eye level. Always.

Eye contact at eye level is just

Yeah, I was thinking the second one, too. It was getting late, and the sun was setting. My ISO was 400, which is pushing it for my camera, and shutter speed was 1/160. I was doing my best to hold it steady, but I couldn't do it perfectly. I should bring my tripod next time.

The branches are sort of in focus!

That's too bad. It would have been a cool picture. Did you realize that the branches were in focus in time, or did you realize that after the fact?

Color for me

I like the B/W one a bit better. The color version is a bit too monochromatic in the orange scale for me. As a suggestion, do a bit of spot healing on her eye to blend that vertical light bar out. It's just odd enough to draw the viewer's eye to it and be distracting.
