Exceptional shots Ruhikant! Very nice detail and sharp. I'm still looking to get some decent shots of Swallows.

You must have friends in high places ruhikant to approach and get such beautifully detailed images as these. They are magnificent!
All these captures are excellent, but I really like the portrait in the 4th and the IF image in the 5th the best. The over-the-shoulder pose in #4 is quite appealing, and the beauty of the top of the wing in the 5th certainly draw my attention. The head on IF shot is also very special. Excellent work!

Whoa! Two beauties on the wing. I just about screwed myself into the ground attempting this feat last year. Good shooting.

+1--great detail. Always a challenge to get these in flight as well--nicely done.
