Hi John,
Here is something you don't see every day. I always see these bird in flight and fast they can go.
Very good sharpness and details and I like the reflection on the sun on the feathers.
Well done.

Super image John, even the pipe looks good ;)
The E500 & Nikkor glass is an excellent combination in your hands..
Lovely color, the blue sheen is wonderful here.
POV, pose, sharpness, detail, etc..it's all there.
Very well done.

Very beautiful glow on the feathers John.
Great sharpness, lighting, composition and DOF.
Feather details, catch light in the eye of the swallow and soft BG colors are wonderful.
Excellent work.
A real joy to look at.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards,
Harry

Well done John, for getting close enough for the photograph without disturbing the Swallow. Even with a big lens you have to get reasonably close.
Good colouring and definition. They do seem to like the pipe type railings.
Now get one flying to match it.
Best wishes,
Peter

Hi John, excellent sharp, detail on this swallow. His turn of the head makes a perfect pose, giving you that great eye. I would have preferred a branch to a pipe for him to sit on, but sometimes you take what you can get. Very nicely done.

Thanks, John

An excellent capture, John! It's hard to catch these little fellows at rest -- they never seem to land! Excellent feather detail.

Hi John,
you've obviously succeeded in your mission then, as this is a great shot. You've definately caught the colours and details in the feathers very well, with a strong compostion. Good Work.
