I love the great pose Jagdeep and the bit of motion blur in the wings. I also like the inclusion of the nest at the top. I'd like to see a little more room at the top, it feels tight to me there.

Really interesting to see this behavior Jagdeep, especially at that unique nest. The motion blur works well in this case I think.

Very interesting behavior, Jagdeep. I like the intense look on the face and the bit of blur in the outer wings. :toast:

Great colors. Nice contrast work between the bird and the nest.
