Grace of a swallow

Please leave your comments

Dmitry, a beautiful capture, lovely lighting and good composition. Cheers, Sondra

poor choice for the background

Sondra and Currents, thanks for the comments! Currents, the background is not made in PS, it is real background behind the swallow.

Love the detail in the face and the pose. Thanks for sharing. Alex

Yes, I did assume that background was chosen in post-processing. Okay, I stand corrected. I still recommend that you at least desaturate it so that it doesn't steal the attention away from the bird.

Dmitry, I like the bird's pose even I would have liked more light under its wing. I think as well that the background is a competition to its beauty,IMO it should be a softer one. anyway it's pose is very appealing.

Currents and Pnina, thank you for comments and criticism!

imho this photo is the summary of a great bird-portfolio. The bird is nicely isolated from the background. The pose of the bird makes the composition als very good. One can discuss some light here or there, but seen the extreem dificulty to capture that bird as such, I must say this is a parfect bird photo !

Thanks, Ivan! I like the photo the way it is, but I understand that everyone has the right to have their own opinion. If people would not critisize how would you know what do they think?

Excellent capture of the bird, very good composition. As for me, i like the background.
