Barn swallow

[Jonathan Ashton]

Canon 1DX Canon 500mm f4 ISO 400, Manual mode 1/3200 sec f4
Hard work with a big lens, still a bit small in the frame but getting there. A bit of decent light tomorrow so fingers crossed.

Jonathan you are certainly getting there, I like this even without the splash of your other post, do wonder how it would look with just a tad off the top, just my personal take of course, wish I could do them flying and get anything like this.

Yes Jon, I agree, just a wee bit closer. Your getting there, I like the IQ on the bird, showing a great pose. The BG fits nicely aswell. Same up here, the light is terrible, and raining everyday. The frame is lookin good.

I kinda like it small in the frame here, it works well IMO. The curled tail feather is a pretty neat bonus. Rather than taking some off the top I'd take some off the bottom instead (see how subjective that is!!)

Great to be able to capture this fast flying bird.

I like the water colour and texture and you have caught the bird well. If you are lucky you will get it skimming open billed....good luck!
