Barn Swallow on Patio

jeffashman · May 4, 2023

I've been trying to get some shots of the Barn Swallows. This was taken in very harsh daylight, as you can see from the shadow, and through a window to boot. I had to put in a fake sky, because LR insisted on putting a mesh pattern in the sky, and I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it, so this was the simplest approach for me.

It's a pretty good shot for through the window! His plumage looks so glossy and clean.

I love these birds. :586:

I know they make it up here, but haven't seen any yet.

Thanks! His plumage is what caught my attention, it was so shiny, almost oiled looking. They moved back into their nest on the patio, after missing a year.
