[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I'd thought I'd never post birds after some really disastrous efforts to capture them, and rather stick to my landscapes.I wouldn't give myself any credit for these swallow shots, for they were kinda, I guess, intended to be shot by me, you know served on a platter...I still feel more comfortable with my elephants and my landscapes.
Will be back with more of those, soon.
Thanks for looking.

Hi Goldy,
well i think you've done a fine job here, especially in very bright light! DOF looks good and you have some very nice detail as well as a great pose. I know what you mean though, i prefer Landscapes but sometimes it is good to step out of the confort zone!

Tough light but you managed it well Goldy.
Nice detail/DOF and yet another interesting pose :)
TFS,

Hello Goldy
I'm your neighbour as you say, this is a very beautifull shot with great light and color.This kind of swallow is caled miltohellidono in greek.
Thanks for sharing
regards
Nikos.

ahhhh brave person....You did well...and I do enjoy landscapes...my specialty, but so many fine bird images have given me a chance to expand my horizons as it did yours here today. A strange look to the tail...I have not seen that before....yet I have been seeing swallows all day...they have been bombing me as if toying with me...Very well then!
Bob

Another fine image Goldy, This has a super POV, good details, colouration and composition, best regards h

Hi Bro, ElephantMan Goldy :),

Hi Goldy,

I love seeing this Swallow. This is quite a pose. His lovely colors show off nicely here and the details are good under tricky lighting conditions. The blue feathers looks so nice and glossy. Looking forward to your elephants and landscapes too.

Hi Goldy, I like the sheen you got on this one with this light. It turned out very well. Colour and detail are great and I like the contortions your bird is going through.

Thanks, John

I can't catch swallows - they are always too fast for me or too far away.
So you have done well on your last 3 photos - apart from the white dots in the eyes - they look a bit 'not right'.
The new PC is working well Goldy. I like this fellow's stand and how he is twisting around.

Hello Goldy,

Hello Goldy, Nice shot and you can do shots of all kind. Photographer should be able to capture anything comes on his way. You can do it and you have done it. Keep it up friend and chase more and more. Rgds Ganesh

Hello Goldy,
Another great pose of this Swallow. Excelllent details and a good composition and POV. Beautiful colours in spite of the bright light.
Regards,
Peter

It almost look like there were two birds, but it's just one. Very good job, I think when you're good with photography and is patient enough, you can get better at it with time. Good one here.

Goldy

What a strange pose, almost looks like a truck reversing. Strange blurring to the BG how did you achieve that effect ?

Hi Goldy, splendid bird with fantastic colors, great details and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio
