Jan:

Good timing, nice downstroke pose.

The bird looks a little soft to me. Focus crisp on plant, and they appear to be in same plane, so perhaps a little motion blur, even at this shutter speed.

Please be sure to include your lens and camera model, so we know how you are creating the shot.

Cheers
