The pose on the bird is nice. Good background. Looks acceptably sharp too me. Have fun out there.

Excellent head on flight pose Dorian,well done!

Swallows are so difficult to get right. I feel your pain Dorian. Nice pose and I like your crop but agree that it is not tack sharp. I've never even had the chance to point my lens at them.

Hi Dorian. The Welcome Swallows are abundant here in Brisbane...I see them every time I go out to photograph in my favourite locations. However, I know how difficult they are to photograph..I've tried but as yet haven't got one worth keeping. I'd be happy with this one! Very well done. BTW, what AF case setting did you have on the 7D Mk2?
Cheers.

You did your best Dorian bu the 7D2 will struggle here and for this frame the focus didn't quite lock... the fact that you can even get this with the half-*** AF of the 7D2 shows your dedication and hard work. keep it up!

You are lucky to have the 5D4, when I first started bird photography I had the 7D which was a POS and a waste of time, I should have thrown that camera in the ocean and did something more productive with my time :D

Arash. I have the 7D Mk2 and Canon 100-400ii. I would say that my photography ratio of perched birds to birds in flight is around 70/30. If I were to upgrade would you recommend to upgrade the camera or the lens...specifically either the 1DXii or 5Div or 600mm lens. (Cost is a factor here) Cheers.

Paul I'd pick the lens first, the bodies you mention are much better than the 7D2 but the zoom lens is going to be too short for those bodies
