Tree Swallow

[Beth Goffe]

This guy was sitting on a fence, minding his own business when he was suddenly dive-bombed by one of his mates. I was fortunate to have had my lens on him and was shooting away when it occurred. This was taken in Massachusetts last April and I think it's one of my favorites so far.

Wow.....you got a great pose with this one. Wonderful BG and the simplicity lets me concentrate on the action. Well done.

[Maxis Gamez]

This is terrific. Love the behavior and alert pose. I would add a little more sharpening. Fill flash would of made this image another story!!

[Beth Goffe]

Thanks for the comments, Lana and Maxis! I'm currently working on my fill flash technique so, hopefully, I won't find myself with the same types of issues going forward.

Interesting behaviour and great detail.

Super timing on this Beth I agree with Maxis a little fill would have been nice but still a really pretty shot. Thanks For Sharing!
