    Very pleasant, with good placement of the bird in the frame, good eye contact, and a sharp and well exposed bird. I presume the bg is water in the pond below the bird.

    this a tough specie to get in flight against a BG like this and you did very well here, the swallow is sharp, I wish the far wing had a better position and the iridescent colors would come out better if the sun was right behind you.

    a very difficult frame executed well, TFS
