I keep coming back to this one as it has a real nice feel to it. I only wish the birds didn't overlap and that the one behind was in focus. I'd be tempted to put the sharp head on both bodies.

Both heads are suffering from movement blur and the rear one is beyond the DoF and well. Very nice though. The symmetry is marvelous.

I like it Agris. It works for me.

I feel the motion blur has added much more interests to this image. If the blur is intended, then the effect is there. More space on top and on the right will make it better.

Thanks for the comments! Probably greater DoF would benefit the image but for me the image works even with this setup Not always it should be razor sharp -- it depends on final usage and the reason why it was taken. :)
