Nice stop action shot. Lots of energy captured.

Comment by riot:
Strong image, striking composition. Unfortunately you have some very noticeable halos around the entire bird, especially some dark halos around the lower bright feathers on the nearer wing against the background, and a dark brown halo around its head - perhaps from manual burning of shadows taking too much of the midtones with it? There are also some severe artefacts and grain around the short feathers of its flanks, again perhaps from excessive dodging and burning followed by aggressive sharpening. On close inspection the boekh of the background is also full of stepped artefacts in places, especially near the middle of the frame. Sharpening different parts of the image selectively to different extents might have helped to reduce that.

an adorable creature very very well captured. Love the sharpness despite of the movement, the details in the feathers, colours and bokeh. Like a little dancer ;-)

Great shot needs to add some more drama on the right.
