Great photo for this challenge. Nice focus right on those scales and an excellent dark, rough tone throughout. Good job!

Beautiful bird caught at a great moment. I wish the background could have been lighter, but you can't control that and I am glad you didn't try to change it through software.

Almost stopped action, but theres still some motion blur there. However I like the shot, a little better lighting would help.

this is a unique take on "bird landing" as you've creatively captured the scene... your background is blurry enough not to detract (actually I like the repetition!) and the lighting on the bird is just right

I like your depth of field, and the way the bird is lit up more than the background.

I like the way the light catches the wing feathers and the cobblestone background adds interest. I wish the head was more present. The bird looks slightly decapitated. Not a "perfect" stop action as there is motion blur, but if it weren't in the challenge description it wouldn't bother me at all. Nice choice. Interesting shape.

It's s cool shot...but there is some motion trail at the tip of the wings.
