Feeding Time and re-do

Gallery: AvianPosted July 9, 2017104 views4 comments

There were five fledgling Barn Swallows on a stick overlooking a small river. For some reason the two on the opposite ends of the stick were the most frequently fed.

Canon 7d Mark II
Sigma 150-600 at 600 mm
1/1250 at f7.1
ISO 640

Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

A very cool behavior image, Allen. I like having the second fledgling in the frame.

Really nice light and detail on this image. Good behavior for the image and the photographer to get this. I think getting any swallow image is very difficult, at least in my experience.

After looking at this more, I felt the background was a bit messy, so here's a re-do with the background cleaned up some.

HI Allen
I like the second posting and I think if you brought down the highlights, it would look even better.
