Had another good morning with a very cooperative group of tree swallows. The perch isn't the best but to me this image says spring is here. Image adjustments in Lightroom. Full frame, hand held.
I know what you mean about the perch, but it really isn't that bad. The oof stuff touching the throat and chest is unfortunate though. I like the sleek and slender pose of the swallow. Nice shiny plumage. Perhaps a touch contrasty due to the light having become stronger.
