Tree Swallow Eye Contact

by A & R Photography

, on Flickr

Rob I really enjoy your photography and this one highlights why.
I looked at it on Flickr where it really does show it off so beautifully.
Magnificent, detailed and colourful
I know how swallows fly and for me are impossible to capture so acknowledge the skill too in actually getting it onto the sensor :-)

I'm curious how far away you are with these type of shots?

Thank you Richard for the kind words. I am guessing about 20 away maybe less.

Thank you kindly Mike.

Excellent flight shot, Neal! Great sharpness and clarity.

What an amazing capture, Ed! Some pretty darn good photography, if I do say so.

Wow Joe! what an outstanding capture of this beautiful Tri-Colored Heron!

What an awesome capture, fma! Great photography.

Outstanding capture, Sid! It's always terrific timing when you can capture a bird of prey with it's catch. Very nicely done.

Thanks LD
