    Hi all. This Swallow posed nicely for me today. Only adjustments were to rotate the canvas to level the perch, remove a second catch light, reduce the highlights a little and a minor crop. Cheers.

    Paul:

    Lots of fine detail, nicely exposed, nice eye contact. Glad the rock is fairly tightly cropped, as it might be a bit overpowering if more of it was showing.

    Cheers

    Colors, exposure, and details all look great, and I think you were wise to minimize the rock given that it's not all that interesting. Love the eye contact. I only wish his neck feathers were in better shape! But it looks like you did everything right despite that caveat.

    Thanks so much Randy & Dorian. I agree re the rock perch.
