Photo Art category because I wanted to blur his perch and put all the focus on him. The background was this color originally. Didn't do much other editing except crop to vertical.

Very impressive. I like the blurred effect. Looks like he's in the studio posing!

The pose and colors are great. FWIW, folks add vignettes and post in the regular forums all the time.

This is really nice. I like the pose and the swallow looks tack sharp. The background is great and the effect of the blurred post works well. You might consider also posting this in Avian where it will likely have a greater viewership. I don't see why the changes you made to the post would disqualify it from the Avian gallery.
