Lovely background and well exposed bird. I like the overall coloration of both.
Wowwee, I love this, Gail. What a gorgeous BG and a loverly bird. Great exposure, awesome colors. Nice job on the comp too.
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.
Very, very nice..Great colors in the BG and the pose and comp look good. Perch works very nicely. I havent seen these guys often.
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.
Pretty image! Lovely light, sharpness, detail, eye contact - so sweet!
This is one brilliant portrait. Really like all the techs and the beautiful bird.

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.
