Capturing these guys in flight is quite a task. I like the head on pose and the angled tail. Spread wings are nice as well. That said this shot does not work for me. Critical sharpness is just not there. In addition the bird is noisy. I am guessing you brought up the shadows and introduced noise in the underwing, belly and tail.

Well done on the capture. I know from experience how tough it is.

same thoughts from me.
to catch the swallows even with such a focal lenght is outstanding.
