Greetings from the Critique Club!
My first impression is that the image is bit out of focus. I have that lens and I find that unless the subject is still its hard to good a good lock sometimes. I am guessing from the crop that you weren't all that close. Filling the frame would have made a stronger image. As one of the comments below suggests, I would crop out the fence in the lower left as it is an unwanted element. Also, since you have cropped anyways, you could crop this so that the subject isn't dead center.
As this was basic editng there is nothing you could do about that white object in the yard however. Exposure is pretty good. The background is a little flat and lacks contract but I'm not sure how you could do a lot about that. I like that you chose f/8 so you got the whole bird in focus. Based on the settings and what I am seeing it looks like you had some pretty harsh light to work with which may have hurt the image as well.
In terms of the challenge? This doesn't scream garden to me. This is a picture of a bird. The fact that it was taken in your garden is only revealed by what you wrote in the photographer's comments. I believe that also hurt the score somewhat. |

| DMC. (Does Meet Challenge) but a bit pale or OE and colourless/lifeless. Green fence loops bottom left detract. |

| Its a great captured moment but the composition is dead centered and has the green and that white distracting element. 5 |
