Redstart and Blue Tit deciding who should sit on a branch . .

I really like the blur in this as to me it helps convey the dynamics and sheer movement, condensing a squabble into something rather beautiful.

Very Beautiful! The sharp texture of the branch and the black background really set off the pretty colors of the birds.

Very nice indeed, the blur really does turn this shot into a "dance of nature", lovely!

I don't think this would have worked without the sharp branch in the foreground. I love the movements and the colours of the birds, great shot

This is quite an unusual scene, and you make the most of it in this shot. I also like the sense of action and the flash of colors in this shot. Composition is spot on with the static branch and the dark BG to contrast the whirl of color.

How wonderful. The tack sharp branch, really sets off the blur of the action. The colors are like a flame -- blue down in the center and yellow above. The light is so good too, with that dark background for contrast.

The blur is great and I really like that the sharpness of the beak and claws is still there. Makes it very clear it's an unfriendly whirlwind encounter. Really, really fun shot.
