Ram, it's a beautiful bird, great BG, decent perch if you clean up the two sticks in LRC. And I love the action. But the only thing in sharp focus is the head, with even the beak a little soft on the end. I can take the motion blur, showing off the twisting motion, but would wish for more DOF.

+ 1 with Ron . Would love to see a horizontal crop for this one .

Lovely capture but not quite sharp, I think the eye is near enough but the head and bill are just a tiny bit soft - motion blur/camera movement?

I am not sure about this one Ram, it came out with too much blur.
