    Giova the action is fantastivc and the image is very sharp. I think that it needs some saturation increase. With a better, out of focus BG, this image would be really killer from an artistic point of view :-)

    I like the interaction here, Giova. Both birds are sharp and well exposed. It would be interesting to know more of the background about what was happening here.

    Great effort here, Giova. Sharpness and interaction are spot on. Like Steve, I would like to know a bit more about what was happening. Juan's suggestions re saturation and BG are good and I think this could probably work with a slightly closer crop removing a little from top and left.

    Great interaction captured. I would crop tighter and increase saturation and/or contrast. Quite amazing that the sparrow goes after a bird that size.
