Hi Bente, nice to see you around again. I see you take advantage of any situation to get a shot for us. I like better you usual colours, compared to the ones in your laptop, but it is not bad at all. Thanks for caming around again.

Hi Bente. Must be interesting to look for different wildife across the ocean. This looks like a "hirundo rustica". Same as those flying for the two or three last weeks here. I agree with Felipe about colors. It's not your usual quality standard :-), generally softer. It comes a bit harsch on my screen. Very nice pose and precise details. Hope you'll find some rare gems for us during your stay. Have a good time.
Regards
JM

Very nice capture Bente and not as bad as you wrote in your mail. Plenty of details in the plumage and the colours look very natural. The composition with the two diagonals is good.

Looks like a barn swallow to me too.

Heelo Bente

Nice to see you back! Very pretty Swallow. Good POV showing his beautiful plumage. I sat a a local pond on Saturday and watched the swallows swoop down and catch bugs above the water. I tried many times to photograph the action, but they all ended up in the reycle bin. These wee birds can really move! Nice work. Thanks

Welcome back. :) I am glad you posted is this colorful critter from the US. The irredisence is very nicely handled. Tack sharp details and lovely colors. My only nit is the phone cable, but then they do not perch on anything else do they... :)

PT.

This is great Bente. The POV is super and I love the lighting on the feathers. Really nice details and the colours of the feathers are subtle but stunning. Very well done.

Enjoy the visit and shooot a lot of Americans for us.

I think you made a good trip near Quebec. You bring back in your laptop some of our friends like this beautifull swallow. We call them 'Hirondelles des Granges' here. Their flight is so great.
The colors are wonderfull and the shapness is excellent. The wire is a little 'shoking' ;-).
It must be interesting to post a picture taken in an other country.
Thank you very much Bente.

Åh - så du har været over dammen ;-) Tak for postkortet og undskyld jeg først har fået læst det rigtigt nu - Det er sjovt og dejligt at se denne variant af landsvalen - jeg har lige fået unger i den anden rede og de to gamle knokler fra morgen til aften - tak Bente for dette fine skud.
