Great moment of capture with the head in good focus and the wings with just the right amount of blur to convey the action. Beautiful blue throat feathers. I really like the willow twigs for a perch and would think about making this more of a vertical shot instead of a horizontal, to show more of those twigs. Good choice on removing those twigs that show in the 1st post.
Frank:
Nice colors in bird and bg. Love the tenuous perch. Nice sense of action from wing blur.
I might consider a bit of crop from the top, and although you did a good job cleaning up the plant material, I would be inclined to remove only the far left twig/buds, as I like the framing provided by the other one you removed.
Just personal taste really, but worth a peak.
Cheers
