| Really grainy and soft. Looks like an extreme crop. Photographing a bird in flight can be hard, as you have found! |

| Reaching too far with the lens on this one :) I hate that when I take a zoomed pic and think it's good then see the purple and cyan highlights all over it when I look at it on the computer (and I've found dark birds to be the worst for that!). You must be a pretty steady hand tho to get the level of focus that you have. Keep shootin' |

| Unfortunately, the focus is off and there is alot of noise in this shot. But it was a good attempt. I'd try it again at a lower ISO. |

| Back to bump this up from the initial harsh 2 that I gave it on first viewing. Catching these birds in flight is incredibly difficult, and that you have succeeded at all is good. That said, I suspect you would have been better not to crop in so tight, and to have the bird smaller in the frame - that would have had two benefits, it would appear sharper and so attention wouldn't be drawn to the focus, and it would give a bit more context and appear more 'natural'. |

They seem to be difficult to capture for me anyways..
Nice DOF & crop well presented in the frame..
Can see this as a good shot if it were in focus.. |

| Not quite to the same level of expertise as some of the other avian images in this challenge, the image is flawed due to a difficult lighting situation leading to rather flat and dull coloring and soft focus. The blank sky also enhances this problem. A good effort that might have been improved with a little more patience waiting for a different angle and lighting. |

| Tough little bird to capture. This shot came out a little soft and washed out, though I can see some feather detail and a catchlight in the eye. If this was cropped I'd try a much wider crop so the bird took up less space in the image. |

| I love the reflection in its eye. The rest is too blurry to my liking. |
