Great concept for this shot, and meets challenge. The shot is overall pretty busy. I wonder if this same idea could be done with a tighter crop, and focusing on a smaller section of the pattern to bring more emphasis to it.

This shot is really neat. Normally in this type of shot (birds), I would prefer to see the action frozen, but the movement in this shot certainly adds to it. Very pretty birds, certainly not common in the UK.

Beautiful birds. Yellows and pinks seem unnatural.

Simply gorgeous...the movement, the blur and the deep luscious red...what a beautiful dance you have captured here.

I really like the combination of movement and static in this capture and the bold & brilliant red backdrop just adds to capture our eye. In the foreground you have the one bird that sits still long enough for us to make out all the details and brilliantly colored tips of wing and tail. What adds interest to an otherwise static scene is the addition of movement. Two other birds are present in the picture in blurred motion.
