I thought this was pretty cool seeing four different swallow species together like this. (Tree, Violet-green, Cliff, and Barn Swallows). This was taken at a local sewage pond were the swallows like to hang out and feed.

Processed in LR and PS. Interestingly, “select subject” was perfect in LR to highlight all the swallows, but less than 50% in PS.
Quite impressive, Allen. I love the varieties of birds sharing the barbed wire.
An interesting assembly, Allen. I find it odd that the wires look in focus across the frame, but the birds on our right seem quite soft.
Nice look at a variety of species. Interesting image showing these different types of swallows.
What an interesting photo. How fortunate to get all the birds to pose for you 
Maybe it’s my monitor, but I find it hard to pick out the birds from the background. I’m not great at editing, but Is there any way to blur the background more and either lighten or darken it, then highlight the birds more? Great capture, though.
ha, this is a quite original image, and I love the title you gave this post 
! Indeed, Dennis’ observation about the wires and the OOF birds crossed my mind as well, it could be due to movement of the birds? Either way, a fine image ! Cheers, Hans
