    Default Tree Swallow

    The soft light made this difficult-to-photograph bird more manageable.



    Canon 40D
    f6.3@ 1/800sec.
    iso 250
    500mm lens w/25mm extension tube

    slight crop from left and bottom.

    Excellently exposed whites, great clear and sharp eye,
    pleasant gentle BG. The perch color complements the
    high-key feel, Congratulations!

    Love the head turn, the soft light (always), the sharpness, and the EXP control. What is really cool is the butt-rest!

    Lovely pose and setting. Good job on the exposure. I would like to see a little more room all around.

    Well Done!
