Yet another swallow flight image

1 Attachment(s)

Having seen so many images of swallows in flight lately, I remembered my own attempts.
This image was created the second day I got my 1D MkIIn last March. When I left the office after a hard days work I went to a local park to play with it. I wanted to try the AI-servo performance. It was getting dark fast, so I didn't have too much time. I used some Barn Swallows as my models and this is the best picture I managed to get that evening.

1DMkIIn with 300 f/4L IS handheld
1/1000, f/4, ISO 800, EV +1/3

Comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated as always.

I like the wing position and topside view in this one. The bird looks a bit dark, you could have dialed in more positive EC. Thanks for sharing!

Love the dorsal view and he spread tail. Some SH/H on the face and then a contrast boost could likely improve it.
