Oh, Glennie!! I’m so happy to see you here! You’ll love the company!

These guys are so well photographed, with nice interaction and the soft light providing great lovely detail. The white sky worked well and the perch is lovely and a very nice color match for them.

Hoping to see LOTS more from you! You have such fascinating birds and plants Down Under.

Very well photographed and perfect for the topic.

A very attractive shot of these woodswallows Glenys. The lighting appeared to be challenging but you exposed the birds perfectly and their light colors are still separated from the background. Love the expressions you caught…each seems to have a personality of his/her own. Great feather details in the enlargement too so overall a fine presentation.

Glennie, this is a fine look (and reasonably high key) at these three swallows. The textures in the white sky make it look like a waterfall in the background. It does set off the birds and their perch well. The mix of poses add extra interest.
