I really like this one for some reason. For all it's plainess, it DOES make me feel like home. Not my home, but somewhere that I could spend some comfort time!

I like the idea of the birds there, but they either have to be clearer or gone. This has some interest factor to it, but the sky is just so washed out. I think it needs a little less exposure because if it is grey and cloudy, it doesn't really convey the right kind of mood with it being so bright.
I think you would have had a very interesting and compelling picture with the texture and diagnals/verticles of the houses if it weren't overexposed. Also, if you would have been able to get a different point of view so that the bottom left roof was out of the picture (maybe you could have zoomed your lens past it) that would improve it as well. Good concept and meets the challenge theme well. Going to give you a 7 even with the flaws mentioned above.
I like the POV and the repitition, but it's overall too bright and the sky is overpowering. Metering on the sky or other brigter object would remedy it.
It doesn't look like the conditions were very good for photographing, with the really blown out sky. It also looks like you had the wrong white balance set, giving everything a pink tint, rather than nice red bricks. I've forgotten to set the WB before, it's really annoying.
I love chimney pictures and the composition of this is very pleasing. I am a little bit distracted by the washed out appearance at the top though ... I know that you took this in not so ideal lighting conditions. The capture of the bird adds a little bit of dynamism. Very good effort.
This just has to be English with those chimney stacks!! Pity the sky is overcast, a crispy blue sky would have brought in excellent contrast against the greens and reds on the houses. This is still good though, just unfortunate about the skies.
