This image made me smile and I can see how it made the top 10. Compositionally nothing to pick at, really. Lovely colours, the bee-eater on the right is showing dominance over the other, and the slant of the dead treelimb shows off their colours beautifully in addition to the dominance of the bird on the right. Had I voted on this image, easily a 7 if not an 8.
There are no editing details listed so I assume it's straight from the camera. The bird on the right looks to have much brighter plumage, but it could be the way the light is catching the bird on the left and making him appear slightly washed out. A tiny bump in saturation may level the playing field a little.
Overall, a sweet shot, and a great finish, well done! Keep up the great work.
9 - Exquisite clarity and light and they really pop against the gray background. Some sensor dust/something upper left. The crop/framing is really good. I wonder about a little more off each side, but that is likely 'another image' - and your call anyway.
