Any comments?

Hi,

I like the overall composition and rather abstract feel of this shot and and can see what you are trying to do here. It could be better.

I am not sure what my eye is supposed to be focussing on in this shot, is it the bird or the stone swing, I think that you need to spell it out to the viewer a little more. Perhaps getting a little closer to the primary subject would have helped a little (difficult I know when you are dealing with birds who don't understand all photographer's plans!)

The curving tree trunk in the background and the line of bricks in the foreground work nicely together and it is clear that you have a good eye so keep shooting and keep posting here!!

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for making me think more about it.

They both at least appear to be in motion in the same direction, and both are in the air. but aside from that they have more contrast between them, and they really don't relate to each other in the composition. It's kinda pointless.
