Here are a few more shots from my Swallow experience (that doesn't sound so good when I say ti like that does it?). I actually ended up with about 5 more feeding shots on top of the ones I shared already, but thought I would share some of the shots made in between feedings.

#5 - The Stretch
I went back and form about whether or not to crop this so it wasn't so centered, but I personally think this one works well centered like this.....wondering if you agree or not?

They are all sharp and clear. Lot's of different poses/action. No clear cut favorites here for me as all of them are tops!

These are great Kurt...what an opportunity!!
#3 is over the top for me!! The bright yellow beak and highlight in the eye really set it off!

I'm with Lynn...I love 'em all equally. Excellent work again, master!
To answer your question, the last thing that entered my mind when I viewed #5 was its centered positioning. No, really!!
With close up bird portraits photographed this well, a centered composition is simply no big deal, IMO.

I hope you are making some money with this stuff! Quality images as always, Kurt. There's got to be some publications that would drool over the rights to these.
