Northern Rough-winged Swallow

[Bill Dix]

Came across this one from a few years ago that I don't believe I have posted before. These guys are usually flying around under a local bridge, and I have wasted hours trying to catch them in flight. But this one was kind enough to perch close to me.

D500, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 2500, 1/1250s @ f/7.1 manual.

A beauty, Bill. Great looking bird well captured, with good eye contact and perfect light. Overall tones of the entire frame very pleasing.

Nice view of this swallow. The pose is nice, shows off that sleek body well. I could see some more room below.

Nice pose and HA. I like the crop as is.

Very nice.
I love the way the wing " sweeps out".
Perfect HA and nice color palette.
