Really dynamic - I like the diagonal alignment of the wings, legs and bill. Good shot

Cracking shot - you must have been close if this hasn't been cropped. If it is a crop I would have like to have seen a little more canvas!

very interesting pose, but a bit tight in the frame

Very nice, very dynamic pose, and blurred wingtips add a bit of movement. It might be nice to include the other birds, depending on how much you can see of them as it would give a sense of whats happening, perhaps....
