Black-face Woodswallow in Storm Cloud

[Ralph]

I went looking for a Black Shouldered Kite and got it but I 1st seen these and when I took the shots I liked what I was seeing.
Yes, I do understand what I like to what is liked here are a long way different but it would be so boring seeing the same thing each and ever time you came here.
So I post what I like as I am more important to please than others.
1 = This is the cloud behind the bird.

2 = two of them as they were going from paddock to paddock.


3 = Much later and the clouds had opened up a little.

Very nice Ralph. I like the dramatic lighting in #1 and #2. Nice clear shots with a clean background. #3 is fine too but doesn’t stand out as much as the first two.

I thought I did answer all these but there is nothing there to say I did so not sure what I done wrong for the comments not to show up.
I am happy with them and knew the dark could behind made for a good background but I am a fan of the blue sky shot a little more.

The storm cloud adds a bit of drama and makes it a bit different. Well captured they are probably crazy flyers like the common swallows.

[Ralph]

I agree with you on what you have said and these are not as whacky of flyers as the Welcome Swallows as I have noticed anyway.

Lovely sharp images Ralph and like you say, they are a bit different.

[Ralph]

Thanks for that and as I think it would be a little boring if we all did the same thing.

[Isac]

You're right on that Ralph.
