Totally didn't see the "coyote" until reading your comments in the Photographer's Comments area. Now I understand your comp a little better...now I'd say (in hindsight) that maybe more of the "coyote" wood sculpture would have helped?
Not sure I have a lot of room to speak here as my 'Hope' entry was way off the mark. :-)
With the portrait orientation of this image the only part of this I saw was the robin and the wood - no title (too far down). My first thought was "hopes of spring", because when we see robins, spring is near!
Honestly, I was a tad disappointed to see that you felt the need to include "hope" in the title once I scrolled down...that's what the challenge theme is. The photo told a good story without feeding the challenge theme to the voters via the title.
Back to the photo...the colors are strong, details in the bird are "ok", the wood stump is a little hot (slightly overexposed). Perhaps slightly over sharpened. Compositionally you could lose a little off the bottom of this and give the robin more impact.
All of the above is JMO of course. :-) Good luck in the challenge. 5
