Weaver Finch building its home

I shot this in South Africa about 3 months ago, and submitted it to an amateur photo comp where it didn't get very far. I didn't get any feedback on why, so I thought I'd post it here and see what you guys have to say. Thanks

The image is crying out for some post processing; there are parts that appear to be slightly overexposed and it looks like it could also use a bit more saturation (don't over do it) and some sharpening. You have the raw materials for a great image, but you need to finish it with the proper treatment.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll make some adjustments and upload it again.
