Again getting the impossible shot! Swallows are the most difficult and the green violet the hardest
of them all!

Here's a shot I just took two hours ago.
He was perched on the cattail that you see on the right side of the frame, and I hoped to capture him as he alit from the cattail.
I wanted to change the aperture from f8 to f11, to get more depth of field and increase sharpness as he flew out of the pre-focused distance, but I didn't have time, as he took to the air just as I was about to reach my finger over to the aperture knob. . Oh, well ..... the feather detail isn't as sharply resolved as I would prefer, but it's still "good enough" to enjoy.
It isn't cropped at all; this is the full image ..... that's why the bird is off-center the opposite way to what we usually see, flying out of the frame instead of into it. . Shooting wider, and then cropping, does allow one to have more control over the composition, but I feel that filling the frame in the first place often results in a bit more of a dramatic look. . Each method has its advantages, as well as its disadvantages.
