Love all three, but #2 is my favorite. It's too bad you couldn't get all his tail in the two, but hey, I know I wouldn't have gotten any of him\her! Great job!

Thank you for your comments everyone. I pre-focused on the suite feeder that this robin was flying up to feed on and snapped him at 1/2000 of a second. At 72 years of age I am not agile enough to follow birds in flight and capture them in a frozen pose. I ran these against https://everypixel.com/aesthetics and the first and last photo came out at a score of 100% the middle photo was 60%, but I like the middle photo as it shows purpose and tells more of a story (or reason for the flight). The use of the shutter speed not only froze the bird in flight, but canceled out the ambient light behind the bird rendering the background black giving the photo an almost 3D appearance.
