Your timing is spot on. The colour seems a little washed out which could be improved by boosting the levels slightly.

I really like your shot but your colors are a little dull/flat....did you do curves/levels or apply a gradient?

Love the angle of the wings. The 2 yellow flowers are slightly distracting though, for me it would have been better with these cloned out.

Nice capture, but too centered. I think these shots are more "pleasing" to the eye when you use the rule of thirds and to have the subject/bird fly into the frame instead of being centered. The bird is nice and crisp, nicely focused, nice spread of the wings.
