This would be a lot stronger if the background didn't take such a prominent role.

i really like the shape of the wing feathers and how you captured them here - i just find the background almost overwhelms the image with the intricate and complex interwoven lines

wonderful timing. Good use of fast SS to capture the action. Lighting is not too appealing though & more bokeh needed for the background. 6

Good catch. All those branches give the background a very abstract feel.

good overall, but the bg looks so messy. I know you probably couldn't help this

The blur in the background seems fake and overdone, and creates a distraction that draws attention away from the subject

Nicely timed, I like the way the bird seems to be taking a leap away.
It does look to me as if you've sharpened this a little heavily, it's not obvious in the bird itself, but rather in the OOF background where you can see a lot of harsh lines around the blurred areas and that has become quite prominent.

Very nice capture of the bird, background is a bit busy to fully appreciate the bird.

good capture a moving bird is one of the hardest shots well done

It would be much better if the bird was larger in the frame. Have you considered a closer crop?
