Tree Swallow.

This is yet an other image from the same place.
I used a couple branches, taken from my front yard Maple three that is flowering right now.
Thanks for looking.

A lovely bird and well captured. Good control of the whites and a nice head turn. It looks really pretty with the blossom.

Excellent image. Very nice pose, beautiful flowering perch, colors,details and nice composition.

I like the perch, pose, colors, BG and composition. Very well done Karl.

Hi Karl, I like the way you have curved the branch 'perch' and the colours of the subtle background compliment the flowers nicely. Personally I would suggest going for a higher SS, the 5D can take the ISO and the images will be better. I get the impression the eye has been lightened slightly, if it's on a layer then just knock back the opacity a little.

I like the composition and the beautiful colours of the bird - I haven't seen one of these before.
I have to admit I wondered if the eye had been brightened a bit, it is not often we see the iris and pupil so clearly delineated. - I eat humble pies in advance maybe I am wrong and it hasn't been enhanced!:bg3:

Nice job. I like everything...
