Thanks for your observation.

I guess the result could have been better but unfortunately it is the viewers choice so I have to accept it.

I have put the photograph in a club competition where there will be qualified judges to critique all images. If I can do better over there then I would be really pleased.

You may not be interested however shall update you if I do better.

Lovely colours, well composed with a great impression of movement.

Thanks for your observation and comment.

It was indeed a beautiful twilight time when the birds were returning home.
I intentionally used slow shutter speed to capture a sense of movement.

I'm sorry it didn't do better in this contest. It really should.
