Hej Micke.
a great shot, exposure and details are spot on.
I li´ke the shallow DOF too, I think this was taken with your old Sigma 300/2.8, the bokeh is very nice.
Lovely colour and well composed.
Great work.

Maybe I will go up to "Villan" today, it's some snow and and with some luck the Bearded-tit will show up.

Excellent spark on the eye.
Good sharpness on the bird face.
Lovely BG, light and colors.

What I didn't like is the cut of the pic that didn't respect any law... it's not 2/3 or 4/3

Bye and have a good week end full of light for your pics,
Andrea

Hej Mikael,
Fine action-shot of this Barn swallow, captured at just the right moment. The shallow Dof and haigh shutter speed are just right here. Well presented.

Gran captura en plena acción Mikael con espectacular iluminación, foco y catchlight.
Me encanta el punto de vista captado casi al ras del suelo con muy buen timing para captar el momento exacto.
Un apropiado encuadre y un esfumado fondo colaboran con la estética de la composición.
Cheers!

Great capture in full action Mikael with spectacular illumination, focus and catchlight.
I love the captured point of view almost to the level of the ground with very good timing to capture the exact moment.
An appropriate framing and a scumble bottom collaborate with the aesthetics of the composition.
Cheers!

Hello Mikael,
this is fabulous, catching a swallow in flight can;t be easy it's hard enough following them with the eye, yet alone with a camera lens. Fabulous details and lovely sharpness. POV, colors and composition are great.

Hi, Mikael.
Very good catch both for you and bird. High quality for such difficult shot. Well composed. Nice catchlight in eye. Peaceful green background.

The amount of swallows in France was so much larger when I was a kid. They did in Africa because of agricultural practices.
Excellent action shot, very detailed and with beautiful colors.

Awesome shot Mikael.

This most have taken some serious skill to get as swallows are damn fast! You've captured the essence of this bird, showing not only its beauty but its stramlined and dynamic body shape.
Great point of view and composition. Very well focused and action frozen using that very fast shutter speed. Nice out of focus background to keep our attention on the subject. Congratulations on this photo!
