Very good and sharp! great pose and sure must be a tough adversary for your AF system and BIF ability. I love it. Maybe I would sharpen around the head just a little more. Thanks for sharing. :)
Hey Gary, This is the best image of yours that I have seen. Nice wing position, sharp, a great head angle, and some good work afterwards with the less than ideal light. Keep it up.

It was a tough photographic morning with the sun at our backs and the wind in our faces. I think it's a great image Gary. Swallows in flight with a tail wind are a real challenge with a 600mm lens. I would boost saturation a bit though.
Light may not be perfect, but I really love this picture. Love the wing spread and what a sharp details you have. This little guy are hard to capture in flight and you did a very good job getting one, i'm really jealous.
