Box Swallow

An older duck box at the small refuge I visited this morning has attracted some house swallows. Once again, not really close enough to get as much detail as I would like on the bird.

What technical feedback would you like if any?

What artistic feedback would you like if any?

Any pertinent technical details: iso-800, 100-400+1.4 extender at 560 mm, F8, 2500th, A7r4, about 10% of full frame

Considering how much difficulty I have getting a flight shot of these with all the ones on our property, I applaud this shot profusely, David. Great wing position, nice background and that beat-up old duck box has all kinds of character. Well done.

David, I like the wing position as well as the head turn on him. Also like that the nest box is included, allowing the viewer to know the intentions of the bird.
