Yup, that is very unique shot of a Swallow.

Nice pics, as usual. The swallow is an interesting photo, and I agree--it is the most interesting and outstandingly different shot of this batch. it's just...very different, unusual, and enjoyable to look at.

Kris, nice collection. I do agree that #1 is the shot of the day.

Nice set! The swallow is a wonderful shot. I would be very happy to come home with those 6 keepers after 12 hours.

Sweet series. The swallow is great, but I am tripping off of the Kingfisher in flight. 500f4 with extender - THAT'S INSANE!
Love the other Swallow you have on Flickr with it's beak open just above the water.

Fantastic work and SWEETNESS!

I also agree about the swallow, but Kingfishers have been a thorn in my photographic side since forever, so I really enjoyed those.
