Focus is off and the noise really takes away from the detail.

Pretty OOF. Nice idea, meets the challenge well, but looks very grainy and haphazard.

The bird is very blown out. Exposure is too long or your contrast is too high. Plus the composition has too much in it. I would shoot to exclude that guard rail. In photography, "less is more".

Looks out of focus, not an interesting background. would have looked better just laid on the edge of a lawn.

Sorry, but this feels rather like a snapshot to me. The roadside guardrail is a huge distraction and the saturation on the blue and/or cyan looks like it has been pushed up way too far, which tends to bring out sensor noise besides giving the ocean a "fake" look. The photo definitely meets the challenge, but it does nothing beyond that. A great photo should usually stand on its own.

Nice tool but you're a bit out of focus, which seemed to result in too much noise.

Some problems here that could use correcting. Mainly, the bird is sort of blown out and not sharply in focus. Your composition is hurt by having the bird facing out of the frame. The horizon tilts, which can easily be corrected with a slight rotation. I also think the shot is over-processed or over-sharpened, I can't tell which, but the water looks too unnatural for my tastes.
