Hope you enjoy. cheers, frank Very nice shot - well composed with the bird on the diagonal and great pose on the bird's part. The yellow does not bother me due to where it is in the frame. I do think that the overall shot is a little over exposed, especially on the bird's underside. I copied it into Photoshop and the highlight recovery tool fixed everything - just a thought. Great shot though.

Re: PESO - Another Tree Swallow
Well thanks, Ken. Looks like a hung jury on this one. Some are bothered by the yellow blob some don't mind it at all. I'm sitting on the fence undecided. ;-) I might rework it on the weekend, see if there's anything I can do about it. Thanks to everyone who commented. I appreciate your input on the matter.

Re: PESO - Another Tree Swallow
I like it better than the other... except on my monitor the white breast of the swallow is blown out - which is weird, because my monitor tends to be dark. don't mind the yellow - I think it is a bit more interesting than the first one - like the non yellow bokeh a lot ann On 5/23/2012 16:54, kwal...@peoplepc.com wrote: A decent capture knarF, I especially like the background but the yellow blob places it in the snap shot category - without the blob it would have more of a crafted feel to it - where the image was studied and adjustments made prior to the tapping of the shutter.
