Hello Phillip,
I have to say I preferred your earlier version.
Although the head is sharp, there is too much blur on the wings for my taste. I would also like to see a touch more space below the bird.

Cheers,
Roy

Hi Phillip

Preferred version 1 - I like this but a slight head turn would have really improved it!

Hi Philip,
The motion works for me and you've caught the bird from a great angle.
Just a little too light and large in the frame for me personally,but it's still an excellent capture.
