Nice shot of the Swallow - I like that you got a catchlight in his eye.

Thanks Whittler, that's praise indeed coming from someone as skilled in bird photography as you. :)

Steve,thanks for the great compliment,though its a bit of a stretch.I think you have done a great job on this shot considering the background.

Thanks Mike and Carol. Yes, Mike, you're right. I should stick to what I know! Although, the background is supposed to be washed out as I was exposing for the dark bird; but when backlighting is this fierce it's hard to stop flare from degrading the subject.
