Great close-up, Goldy. I am impressed with magnification and attractive eye-contact. Pose and glance of the swallow are amazing. Its image are crisp sharp and perfectly detailed. I also like wonderful green smooth BG and composition of the pictre at whole. Well done and TFS.

A fine capture from your window Goldy, the focus was off just a little I think, but the small discrepancy gave a nice soft-focus effect to the macro take. Good comp. my friend.

Hi Goldy,

Good to see your computer is working again!! I love these little Swallows. A great pose - he seems to be performing for you. He certainly is looking right at the camera. The face and plummage are wonderful. The background is superb. I can't stop thinking how cute he is.

Hi Goldy, looks like you have your PC back. This is a good shot, with very good processing on this Swallow. Very nice pose of this guy, in a great crop. The detail seen on him is very good with nice depth of field to subtly mute down the background.

Thanks, John

This is the best in your series, Goldy.
The frontal exposure shows the bird in full detail with very good view of the under-feathers and the plumage.
The subject is well isolated from the BG.
Well done and TFS.

Coucou Goldy, beautiful! You are the swallow expert, they are such beautiful and graceful birds. You come out with great colours even though the light is a little harsh, and you are so close of the bird! Great picture, very well composed and framed, thank you!
