Photographer's Note
With less than 15cm in legth and about 15 grams in weight, this small white-winged swallow (Tachycineta albiventer) was posing for me over a piece of trunk in the sea after some airborne stunts typical of the species of its family.

Hello Alexandre,
It is such a lovely and charming bird with those blue details on its head and wing. The light was perfect as well. Very good sharpness and clarity.

Hello Alexandre,
The bird is posing well and seen from a good angle, and the photo has a beautiful simplicity. I love the metallic blue tones of the bird's head and upper back. You captured it with a marvellous sharpness and placed it well towards the side and looking the right way. Very nicely done.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hola Alexandre
Good sharpness and the blue sky gives a wonderful backdrop to the bird. Excellent use of a shallow depth of field and thanks for sharing.

Hello Alexandre,
Swallows are such agile performers in the air, swooping and soaring. How good that you managed to see capture the bird perched, for a moment!
It is a fine shot, showing details of the sleek, long body and wings of the bird, with quite short legs.
The light is revealing a shiny texture on the swallows head.
My warm regards,
Bev 😀

Hello Alexandre,
Striking are the light blue feathers on its head and the upper part of its wing.
The bird is curiously looking down why that photographer is so interested in it.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Alexandre,
The bird is well placed in the frame. The point of view is showing the details of the White-Winged Swallow. The light is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

An excellent capture, and I say this because swallows always keep flying rarly take a "rest" and if they do - it is on a high spot, Alexandre.
Our Israeli swallows are black, and this specie has marvelous different colors.
Bravo for this beauty, e bom novo dia,
Ike

Hello Alexandre
In the Netherlands there is the saying that one swallow does not make a summer, but this beautiful specimen is there when it announces the summer.
Wonderful how he poses for your camera.
Excellent work
Have a nice day. Groet Rob

Ola Alexandre Many thanks for this sweet souvenir of my youth;
I was a country boy and every morning many barn swallows were aligned on the power line between our house and the road pole, performing in chorus loud concerts or exchanging the latest morning news for a while! Then they left all of a sudden without waiting for my applause! Impeccable technique despite difficult lighting. Abraços.

Hi Alexandre,
what a beautiful bird photography!
So clear and sharp!
I am very impressed because this type of birds is so fast and usually they don't like posing.
Great catch!
