These are difficult shots, and you did very nicely with this one. The flight angle and pose are very nice. I'm picking up a very slight crunchiness in the texture on the swallow – could be noise or sharpening artifact. Its not a game changer, and you are to be commended on pulling this shot off. Well done!

Impressive flight shot of a super fast erratically flying bird.

This is a moderate crop, but the original is tack sharp so it stood up pretty well
