Outstanding composition with the background color.

Nice!

I love the background. Very different from what I usually see.
Janet Forjan-Freedman03-Jun-2007 22:43
Glad you like the capture Bill! The comments and feedback are a result of my question and concern that background might be too bold. Janet

I love the swallow, but I just think he looks a bit *swallowed-up* by the background. I'd rather see it cropped to show him more, and just a bit less saturation on the background. Perhaps a tad more to a deeper red rather than pinkish?

Hey

For any one who has ever tried to capture a bird of any kind with your camera "you did a wonderful job." For those who are complaining about the background color Just give it a try.
You did a spectacular job. Keep up the good work.

The bird is wonderful, but I feel the same as others - that the background is competing with your main focus. Maybe if it were toned down a bit?
Guest 03-Jun-2007 12:13
Maybe a tiny bit strong, the background, but I do think it complements the bird, well done!

Excellent shot and I love the background.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! Gary, the background is faded red barn-boards. Janet

Sorry Janet, have to disagree with several eminent critics below - for me the red competes with the bird (super detail as usual). What was the background that caused this hue?

not at all! great shot.

A beautiful image - I never tire of watching swallows sweeping through the sky.
Guest 02-Jun-2007 19:57

What a great shot and no I think the background in nicely color coordinated with the swallow.
