Hi April, You've got a very good copy of that lens, sharp capture!! nice timing on the pose and good composition. If the Pacific swallow ranges where you took this picture I'll say it's a Pacific swallow. |

Excellent, April..... love the head turn! Where was it captured? here in vancouver, canada. went out for a walk to the dyke. it was hard to keep up with them. hay...i was reading the threads and yes, 400mm is a start but one would really yearn for more.. something longer like a 600mm or 800mm! looks like i have to keep cropping to get closer!  |

Great first shot, April. Congratulations! I'm sure you were not born on June. Kidding aside, I'm from Calgary, Alberta just a 12-hour drive from your place.
