 I caught this little guy mid-flight and thought it would be a good shot for this challenge. I only had to crop the image and lighten it a bit.

Excellent shot. How did you catch this bird in mid-air?!

Interesting shot. Bird is a bit dark for me to make out much detail around its head.

Cool how you caught the bird looking at the viewer while in flight. Not easy! :)

A little focus on the beak/eyes area of the bird would strengthen this already good effort.

Looks like a good action shot, but it's really hard to tell what's going on in the front end of the bird. Unfortunate angle, I guess.

Faster shutter and bringing out the colors would help. Not sure how it fits the challenge.

The subject is just a little too dark.

there is much to like on this pic (motion capture, DOF< focus, etc) but unfortunately the bird is the subject, and is too dark. distracting.
