    Lovely background and well exposed bird. I like the overall coloration of both.

    Very nice Gail, they are tough to get the right exposure on and yours looks good,
    Not too metallic and a nice expression.

    A very nice and attentive bird. Pose, exposure and focus are right on. A bit more dof for the tail would have been nice. A very good looking swallow.

    Gail, super pose, and the light has brought out the blue iridescence nicely. With the swallow almost parallel to the camera, Im surprised the tail didnt fall into the DOF range, even at F/5.0.

    Gail, excellent!! loved the DOF and the BG...so different. Good exposure on the perch as those are easy to blow. perfect head turn and great colors.
