Tree swallows arguing

[Luis Villablanca]

I took this one a few weeks ago in the sierras.
There were a few nest boxes occupied by Mountain Bluebirds and Tree Swallows.
The swallows seem to nest in small communities as I saw several adult birds go in and out of one of the boxes.
A couple of them at one point decided to perch and started arguing over something.

The perch was attached to a nest box, a small part of which was showing in the original frame.
I removed that section of the box and also extended the canvas to the right a little.

Luis:

Very fun interaction shot, bet it was loud!

The BG and birds colors work well together, good job on evicting the house and the canvas extension.

Cheers

Good interaction captured here Luis, and the light has brought out the iridescence of the swallow on the right nicely. Good DOF, and both sharp. Great BG too.

Stunning image Luis, love the interaction and the lovely perch. I always enjoy the call and sound of these swallows. I would add a bit more saturation but this is personal taste and still work very well as is TFS:cheers::cheers:
