I like #1 Phil just a shame about the wing tip being cut off.
The pose/shape in #2 is great but I find the half shadow across the face off-putting.

Nice action Phil but I agree with Toddy on both points. #2 also looks a bit soft but I this isn't necessarily bad as it does give a sense of motion.

Like the movement in the wing in #2
Hard to get it right when they are at speed.

Well captured Phil. Agree with others but still a couple of keepers. Light looked a bit harsh, never great for shots like this but they've turned out pretty well.
