Now that's a species flight shot I have not seen. Well done. Maybe some more sharpening on the head.

Barbara, well done good pose and nice light. As alan has suggested some more sharpening on the head might be in order. Well done!!

Additional sharpening puts this over the top. Nice everything.

Barbara,
The second version with the additional sharpening looks good to me. I love the flight pose and the eye contact. I wonder if some additonal room in front of the bird might not make the composition stronger, since the bird is in flight a little more room would be nice for the bird to move into.

Catching small birds inflight is a whole different ball game, great job here Barbara..
I think the bit of sharpening helped here, like the monochromatic look
