Salaam, modern-day 'Salim Ali'!
You have 'dazzled' me with this prize shot of a Swallowtail the likes of which I have never seen before.
The blue colour is simply alluring.
This is one of the best bird images I have ever seen, so it goes to my favourites with a sense of pride, Rathika.
I have seen your pbase image too and it is equally stunning, if not a notch better.
Regards,
Ram

That is a beautifully executed capture of a finely coloured swallow on a natural perch Rathika, the plain greenish BG nicely compliments the bird in the FG. TFS and cheers,

Hello Rathika,
A fine portrait of a Wire-tailed Swallow taken to show how its plumage can iridesc in the right light. The sharpness, pose, POV and composition are all great and I think the P-base image is at least as good, if not better.
TFS this beauty,
Regards,
Ivan
