Greetings from the Critique club. First off let me congratulate you on an amazing shot. I really like this. Although I didnt vote this challenge, I would have scored it an 8 or 9. As far as why it didnt score very well, alot of voters may not know that the sibject is named weaver, BTW I beleive that is a Southern Masked weaver, but thats not your fault. Now on to the critique.

Great compostion, very good focus, and I love the colors. SHallow DOF works very well here. The only thing I might have sugested was bumping the color up a bit. I think the voters really like colors that flash and jump out to them, maybe play with the hue or saturation on the yellow and make the bird jump out a bit. Overall a great job, and I am kind of surprised it didnt score above 6. Good luck on future challenges.

Perhaps "Suburban Life". I don't like the hazy housing. Looks like the fields are stronger and encroaching on the suburb.

good choice of a title. Reminds me of the Central Valley of California.

Good title. I don't know how much this portrays "city life" more-so, "suburban life" in my opinion. but it's very unique and i love how you captured the sloping of the field 6
