Hi Goldy.
I like your very nice picture of the beautiful swallow. Superb details and sharpness of the bird image and nice blurred BG. May be level of contrast is not the best but when you will fix your comp you well probably fix this point too :))). Excellent POV and composition of the image. My bet wishes and TFS.

Hi Goldy,

So sorry your computer isn't working properly. We all know what that is like! I've never seen this striated swallow before and he is lovely. You caught him in a wonderful pose. I wouldn't be surprised if you repost this when you can do a proper edit.

hello goldy,
nice bird, i liked the composition and the way it has turned the head in your direction to make eye contact, the picture quality could have been better but still a nice capture. Its really difficult shooting birds,
take care and keep shooting,
regards

Hi Goldy,
Wonderful shot and I like the way it looks over its shoulder while showing off its plumage. Very neat and sharp image with perfect lighting. The OOF BG illustrates the habitat well. I feel the contrast level could be increased here to give the image a bit of depth and colour. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hello Goldy,
Excellent capture of a Striated Swallow with a bit of mud on its beak. The light was a bit against you but you have managed it well and taken this with fine sharpness.
Thanks for sharingthis fine image,

Beautiful bird Goldy, interesting pose with its head turned back this way..Well seen from the BG, nice detail.
Bob's WS has helped, adding some needed contrast.
Well done,
Howard

I guess the light was pretty harsh when you took this picture, Goldy.
Nevertheless, this second capture of the Swallow gives a fairly good impression of its plumage.
I repeat: the camera you have used for this picture is a very capable machine. Please experiment with its manual settings and create a test log. It would certainly help you how to get the best out of it.
Please do not mind my advice; it is sincere and honest.
Regards.

Hi Goldy, as Louciano says, the pic isn't very good quality.

Yet others say:
"still a beautifull work:
"Superb details and sharpness"
"excellent shot of this bird"
"Wonderful shot"
"excellent capture, good colouration"

What do YOU think of this photo?

Bob and Silvio's workshops are good.

I hope you will repost it when your PC is repaired. You need to ask for honest critiques and not look for points when you post photos on TN.

Good luck with your new PC.

Janice

Hello Goldy,
A good shot of the Swallow despite some noise.Good pose and details on its plumage. The lighting i guess worked a tad difficukt for you but you still managed to get enough highlights on your composition.
TFS & Cheers
