Violet Green Swallow

Violet Green . Large crop, lousy light. Some noise

iso 640, 500 pf, f6.3, 5000th, D500, handheld, 25% full frame

Nice look back pose. Also like the ruffed up feathers. Very neat looking swallows. Perch is nice as well.

Nice looking bird in good light, and I like the pose. It looks like there are some remnants from cloning out a small branch on the right.

Nice bird, nice perch. Good feather detail. I like the spotlight effect of the BG. May be just my laptop monitor, but is there a bit of halo around the bird? Noticeable mostly around head and tail.

IQ has suffered from the large crop unfortunately.
I also see cloning remnants in 2 areas where you cloned out branches- one to the right of bird and one to the left.
Good bird and I hope you can get closer to this guy in the future.

Decent enough for. a huge crop. But no excuse for the sloppy Photoshop work. You can repair that damage easily after the fact with the Patch Tool. I hope that I get to photograph this species in nice light from close range before they nail the box shut. Not likely, however :)

Love the neat pose.

with love, a
