Quickie swift treatment

These guys are hard work to follow. 110+ kph in level flight, according to the web! They’re also too small for me to use the “spot metering linked to focus point” feature of my camera. Anyway, C&C (as well as gasps :joy:) welcome.


Here are the original frame and the DOP. Sharpening and upsizing are in Topaz Photo AI.

Gasp!

I don’t know if our Hirundo neoxena (Warou, Welcome Swallow) fly that fast, but however fast it is, it’s very difficult to follow with a camera!

I like your composition and treatment. It’s fitting that the “room to move into” is suitably large to emphasise this bird would need a lot of room at that speed!

The backlit wings and just enough definition on the body are great.
