The first image is not sharply focused. Getting moving birds in sharp focus requires a high shutter speed and steady hand.

Thank you so much for the information, also much appreciate detailed explanation. It's good to hear from a professional and to know what I am doing wrong so I can pay attention in the future. I got other photos accepted which is great. 

I'll keep learning and improving, that's why we are all here I guess to learn from each other.

Cheers!

Hi @Davor_V ,

Just to add: all the files post here are over-saturated and the fourth file also has a white balance issue. It carries a blue cast.
