 OK, this isn't suburbia. But, I live in suburbia and it sucks. That's why we have memberships to places where you can take fun pictures. This was taken inside the African Safari section of the NJ Aquarium. The birds fly free within the area and the ceilings and walls are painted to simulate the outdoors.

I thought this was a pretty good take on the challenge Kelli. Not sure why it did so poorly.

This is a beautiful photo. Okay, so it's not terribly on topic, but there's no way it deserves to steal my brown! :P

I kinda think it works for the challenge, but as a champion shoe-horner, my opinion is probably not a good one to go on. To me the noise adds to that "through the window" feel.

Doesn't really meet the challenge. This could be outside a city window, rural window, ship window...

This has a lot of potential but it's not very sharp and the sky looks pretty noisy.

this is a stretch.

Let's just call this a "Shoe Horn Bird".

Looks a little grainy. Have you tried a noise reduction program? That really would have improved the look of this shot! Try looking for a sharware version of Noiseware Community Edition as a free download.

Nice tones but not screaming suburbia to me at all and the lack of sharpness is distracting - Nice composition though

Fantastic POV, love the colour and the idea. I do wish for a touch more clarity on the bird.
