This image was created in Wheatland Wyoming. These are Cliff Swallows nesting on the side of a massive rock above a stream on my bothers ranch. They are up in the mountains and the only way to reach them is by 4 wheeler.
They look adorable and a sight I have never seen, they almost look like toys! Great exposure congril and interesting habitat.

I like the texture of the BG/nests, the head angles. and the colors of the birds. They're fun to watch.

Hi Rod,
Nice bit of luck/perserverence on the 4 head angles. Never an easy task! i might have preferred it with only the 3 top birds..........but since all 4 are looking..............it's a keeper!

Rod,
This is a very nice image.
Eye contact with all birds. I like exposure and sharpness.
The only thing I will offer is, a little more room at the bottom would make it an even stronger image.
Well done.

Axel the only thing cropped is little at the bottom and top to meet the file size requirements for posting
