Good sense of motion here, keeping the main subject clear - well done!

Well executed, but with two of them in the picture my attention jumps from one to another one instead of focusing on one subject.

Very pretty photo. Looks more like frozen motion with short DOF than panned motion, though.

Comment by BeeCee:
DOF is just a little too shallow to capture both birds sharply. She's beautifully clear, 'twould be lovely if he were the same :)
IMO, having the subjects left of center may have given an even stronger impression of movement, as if they had just entered the frame and were on their way across it, actually moving as we watch. Does that make sense?
The background colours are lovely :)

less motion anning, more DOF. Still nice, though
