I like it Desmond Just wish it was larger in frame so it would have more detail !!! Excellent btw wouldn't had thought it was water bg !!!

Hi Desmond - agree with AL, larger in the frame would be good - hard to make out much in the way of detail.

Is got me how you even catch these guys in flight

Swallow

To get a swallow in flight is amazing. Wow!
My changes. Less space around the bird and rotated ccw for more interest.
A few adjustments to make the bird darker.
Just some ideas.

Hi Desmond,
Agree with all of the above, Patience, patience, and patience...waite till he comes closer to you so that you can fill up the frame with him...

 

[Desmond Chan]

Hey, if only I could tell the swallows to come closer...but not too close though...slow down and stay on course

Thanks ! Will try.
