    Phenominal interaction shot! The head angle of the right bird is a bit off, but in my opinion interaction trumps head angle! Well done. regards~Bill

    Great behavior captured. I personally thought the crop was fine as posted, but I suppose a slivver of room on the left wouldn't hurt it.

    Yep, a little more on the left, but loving the interaction here and extra nice blue sheen on the plumage, angle of light and exposure was very well handled.....a common enough bird that all too often gets overlooked I think, but such a beautiful species I think.

    Interactions like this always leave me wondering what was actually happening between the participants. Given enough time with humans it would be fair to say you could work it all out but with animals it's always going to be a guess.

    Nothing on the negative side J, I like the crop and love the metalic blue of your Swallows

    It appears that I missed this capture the first time around. Terrific action/behavior captured here. Very well done. Great colors, details and sharpness.
