Found a pretty cool spot for shooting Cliff Swallows. This is a new species for me so I was happy to get a few keepers.

Great find, very cool pose, I particularly like the fanned tail. The catchlight looks a bit big for my taste. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic done, David, really sharp, they can be very hard to get!
These flight swallow images never cease to amaze me. Well done man.
A beauty David and wonderful detail . eye contact and flight pose. Your timing is excellent !!!
Agree with Axel about the eye. The rest is great. Very good timing as said above.
Great shot Dave at a difficult location with substandard light :)

Well done for a difficult image to make!
Great pose David, and a tough capture to be sure. Agree about the catchlight. On my monitor the head looks a little over-processed.
Sick! How big a crop. Might try the middletones a shade darker...
