Nice basic COMP and I like the oof stuff in the BKGR. If it were mine, I would crop out the three seed pods (???) on the left edge, get rid of the two blackish VERT lines on the right frame edge, and expand the canvas a bit on the right. At 1/000 sec. the near wing is neither sharp nor blurred... Either would have been better. The bird esp. looks a bit washed out and lastly, with having the bird facing slightly away from you is less than ideal.
later and love, artie

Thx to all for your comments, especially concerning the shutterspeed and wing blur, I hadn't really thought much about that, but makes good sense. Either freeze it or blurr to show motion.
