Ooops I forgot to sharpen it!!
Gail, another great perch, I would not want to crop the perch, but maybe a bit from the left side and top.

I love the image design exactly as is; I would not change a pixel. Good job on the sharpening too. And the EXP.

Hi Gail
Very nice image, but this is not a Sand Martin (AKA Bank Swallow in Nth America) due to the completely dark underparts.
As I'm not familar with African hirundines, perhaps someone from that continent can chip in with the correct ID.

You are correct. This is a brown throated sand martin. If any mods read this feel free to correct my title,

Awesome perch and great job on the comp Gail.
That is a really different composition. Unique. I wonder how photo would look with a thin black border. Thanks for posting this one.
Gail, very nice image design. What a nice perch...makes this image. Considering the light angle, this HA is excellent.
Gail, fixed the title.
