Swallow Take off

[Kiran Poonacha]

Shy things these, still managed to make some shots of the speedsters...

Spec: 1/1600, F 7.1, ISO 400.

canon 40D + 500mm + 1.4 TC.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

One of your best!!!
Killer pose,bg.....composition!!!

[Randy Stout]

Kiran:

Nicely exposed, BG, tail flare.

From a comp. standpoint, in a perfect world, I would prefer the wings not to be so swept back. If shooting from the side, that would be great , but from the front, it doesn't work as well for me.

Cheers

[David Hemmings]

This is super sweet Kiran! The only thing that could improve it imo would be to have shot more from the right side to seperate the right wing from the head.

[James Salywoda]

Fantastic pose captured Kiran this is sweet.

[denise ippolito]

Kiran, You really do a great job of isolating your subjects from busy BG's. You BG's are always so pleasing. Beautiful details and exposure.

[Mital Patel]

everything said above already .. you know my words too :) two thumbs up.

[ChasMcRae]

Love the tail flare and would in a perfect world would love to have the wing flare match the tail. Head position is nice.
What species is this ? Looks like our Barn Swallow.

[Geurt Bloem]

Kiran, opportunity very well used. I like the action shown, good eye contact, lovely out of focus background and a good composition.

[Stu Bowie]

Its all about the timing Bhai, and you hit the button spot on. I like fanned tail. Well captured.

[David Fletcher]

Brilliant. Love the fanned tail and head angle Kiran. Very well done.

Good timing, clean image ! You caught the invisible. If you can catch that with a 500mm, you can catch them in flight, too. Shouldn't be that difficult :D

I would enhance the contrast of the eye a bit though for final presentation.

As far as I can tell, this is a barn swallow.

Good job and congrats !!

[Doug Brown]

Great timing Kiran! Agree with the point about wing position. There appears to be a slight green cast. Nicely done!

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Kiran, is it a red-rumped swallow?

I like the BG in this a lot....and of course the fan tail. Well done.

[Matt Vosniak]

What an amazing pose Kiran. I am a huge fan of swallows as I think they always have some very interesting characteristics and mannerisms. Well done!!

[EdNguyen]

Wow! Great capture! I love this pose. I would suggest cropping a little tighter from the right to de-center the bird more.
