Lovely shot, Matt. Excellent detail. Might crop a tad off the top.

Wow, great color and detail. Sandy has a good idea with a bit off the top of the frame, I think that would be nice, too.

Excellent head shot. I agree with a slither off the top.

Great head shot, did you have a mosquito in your hand to keep him so close.

I like the composition and pose of this little guy. The smooth bg makes him pop right off the page. :)

Nice portrait. The colors of the Swallow look great with the green background.
