    Great behaviour captured Vivaldo, a good follow up to your previous image with good eye contact.

    Vivaldo:

    Great interaction here, nice catchlights, colors.

    I might try to tone down the luminosity of the left end of the perch to downplay the broken end and its mass compared to the birds.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Very nice moment and sharpness. Do see some noise in the head of the right swallow

    Perfect HA for this interaction, IMO!
    I agree with thijs about the noise but a great image nonetheless!

    You captured the interaction at the right moment! Agree with Randy on the left end of the perch. A little dodge and burn might help too.

    Great behaviour captured here!!! Looks like the D300s can't handle the high ISO very well as there is quite a lot of noise on the birds.

    Hey Vivaldo, great feeding behaviour, and love the posture of the RH Swallow. I also like the pastel colour of the BG.
