Hi Doug

Excellent timing and composition. The mix of sharp and blurred elements gives the shot the feel of movement which would have been present in real life.

Hi Doug,
It seems you've captured something of a local rivalry going on, wonder what the fight is about. It's great that you caught all 3 in a vertical frame, individually each would make a good image but all three together is excellent. Good detail and good depth of field, lovely colours in the BG and well defocused which really makes the colour contrast of the birds stand out. A very good image, great work.
Regards,
Adrian

Hi Doug

Great in-flight capture of the Swallow's. with three lovely poses.
Nice details and lovely colours.

Hi Doug.
I estimate to in-flight picture so highly. I tried to shoot swallows in flight many times with alone result. All shots were very bad. Yours is great. Superb timing and exposure parameters. Exposure and colours/detail reproduction are spot on. Composition is very nice too. My compliments. Wonderful work.
Alexei.
