    Holy crap this is good. Great interaction and strong eye contact with the one looking up. Is this the same swallow you showed in the Horicon Marsh thread?

    I concur with the Holy Crap comment as well as all the others. A great moment perfectly captured.

    Great capture! Beautiful bokeh, sharpness, colors, etc. Even the bird's expressions.

    Blowing grasses helped provide the bokeh.

    Very nice Ric thumb.gif I love the look on the one on the left. Just checking out what's happening, but not really all that fussed.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    The social interaction of swallows can be quite entertaining.
