Great sense of movement in these Deb. The last is awesome.
That bee-eater is going to become vain I think

deb i think they look awesome. were you going for BIF shots or did it just work out that way ?
#1 and #3 in particular are really eye catching.

Rooz,
Movement very intentional - trying to catch them as they take off but missing the sharp focus on the eyes so more practice needed ...but it's a start.
Thanks Kevin

I have to buck the trend a little here, #1 is nice, but there is too much motion in that bird on the right, however #3 is a beautiful image. Great stuff there Deb!

The last is great Deb. At this size the eyes are fine.
Very hard for the camera to focus when object moving toward you I think.
Nice work.

The first one is lovely! Love how the bird is blurred.
The last is one also great bar the mild softness...
The middle one is the weakest- I don't like the pose - it's not flattering even for a scavenger bird.

As with the later replies I really like the last image- everything's a mass of movement except for the head which looks steady as a rock- nice work.

Both #1 and #3 work for me. I love the movement and the smeared colours. #2 lacks impact because of the fussy background. Nice work!
