Looks very good to me, Nonda ! I've been trying to get something like this but just didn't have the opportunity to run into a scene like this. If it wasn't because of wrong angle, it was because the birds were too far away for my lens. Anyhow, I personally don't think head angle should be an big issue here given that you have three heads to deal with. You can only take what's there, I suppose. Just IMO.
BTW, which swallow you set the focus on? Big crop/small crop ?
This is a pretty good crop probably about 50%. What you can't see is on the left is a nest box, there are quite a few next boxes and tons of swallows. Many times they fly in too close! If someone know what they were doing it would be a pretty target rich place, I'm fumbling and get lucky at times. I do keep focus on the are by a next box since they slow down a bit when they come in.
I try and focus on one bird but get two or more in the frame at times, often not knowing someone else is in till I get home:o
I like this very much, Nonda. My one wish is that the bird on the right were as in focus as the other two. It's a great try, though, and I love the interaction of the birds!
