Well captured image of this barn swallow on a wire. The diagonal lines in the shot work well. The bird is more centered than I would like but you don't have a lot of room to change that. Good colors. Nice "pose" so that you can see the details on the bird. Good catch light in the eye. Nice soft background. Well seen.

Thank you! I agree about his position but the angle of his body and that wire didn't leave me much choice :)

Perfection! Superb eye clarity.....draws us into this lovely photography. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Your play with light and shadows adds depth and interest in your scene. Your diffused background compliments your beautiful work. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

What beautiful colors on this barn swallow, I love the blue and orange, his face is so cute! I love the way he is turning back to look at you and love the position of his wings, it's like he is wearing a cape, very well captured with good focus, the image is sharp and clear, I can see every detail , I keep going back to that face, it's precious! Exposure is well managed, his colors and tones appear natural. He is well placed in the frame and I love his pose. I wish I had a six to award this, I absolutely love it! Well presented!

Great capture, Grace, showing this pretty barn swallow giving you the eye as you watch him, as if to say "what d'you think you're doin' eh?" Very good lighting and focus showing a lovely clear image. Excellent composition. Suzanne

I like it too. It is though he is saying, " Are you looking at me?" The blue cast to his wings are pretty. That rust colored throat is eye catching. Overall his body has sleekness that is attractive.

I admire the sharpness of detail and the perfect depth of this photo. Even single feathers of the bird show very crisp. I like the light reflection in the eye. The colors are through natural- realistic. The bird is nicely placed into the frame. The diagonal string emphasizes the bird. The photo is well composed and framed.
