My fav for this challenge. I thought this capture was perfect in the right balance of story telling and composition. Awesome timing too BTW! :-)

A tighter crop would really make this pop...nobody cares about the limbs. And, all the negative space adds nothing in this case. Zoom in on those warriors!

Hi Margaret, I don't handhold this lens. I have a full gimbal set up and a very sturdy tripod. But I do throw that set up over my shoulder and take short hikes with it.

Nice capture of the exchange between the swallows, but it probably needs some cropping in so as to achieve full effect.

Nicely minimalist, which I like, but the rendering of the birds is either too bad, or too good, to be arresting. By that I mean the birds have to be either perfectly clear and sharp (they aren't), or so negligently rendered as to be transformative (and again, they aren't). What it feels like is near miss. But it's a pleasing picture, if not quite as good as it very nearly was! Thank you.
