A bit of a yes-and-no picture. The color of the bird blends to much with the leaves for my taste (i.e. 'no'). Once you know the bird is there however, your eye keeps getting drawn to it (i.e. 'yes')

Of all the bird shots I have seen so far, I like this "frame" the best. I would prefer the bird to be more in focus and perhaps a bit more "prominent".

Hello from the Critique Club!

Firstly, I like that you went with a bit of a different take than a lot of folks did, not only by doing a night scene, but also by doing one that is blurred.
I like the variety of colors of lights and especially the eerie bit of light on the railing.
One thing, however, is that I wish there was more of a direction/reason to the blur. What I mean by this is that it doesn't seem to be intensifying our sence of motion, or necessarily enhancing the feel of the photo. Otherwise, I feel like your choice of crop works well and is interesting.

Quite exciting. Probably a lot more interesting than a straight cityscape would have been.
