Very nice behaviour shot Ken! Getting both sharp with mud on their beaks tells the story of what looks to me like a pair building the nest. Won't mind to see some more room bottom and sides.
Like the curved perch, makes for an interesting and different composition, sharp detasil and lovely color
Ken - nice perch, poses and good dof to have both sharp. Like the iridesence of the back feathers on the one on the left. Agree about a little more room below.

Lovely image and I like the different perspectives of each bird. Would have liked to see a little more space all around. The perch is awesome.
Love the perch , the behavior and bg. I only want room on the bottom.
Hi Ken, I like that both swallow's have a different pose, and that we can see they are busy at work with their beaks full of mud. Interesting curved perch, and yes to more room below. I know that would create an unusual crop, but as Ofer stated, maybe add to the sides if you have.
I always enjoy seeing more than one bird in a photo. You got an interesting pose from both of them and they are on a nice curved perch. I also miss some room at the bottom, though I am aware of the compositional challenges. Well done.
