Tree Swallow in flight. Canon 50D, Canon 70mm-200mm lens. Aperture Priority mode, AP 6.3, SP 1/3200, ISO 400, WB Sunny. I was only 8 feet away while shooting these birds by the nesting box. Any ideas how to improve this photo would be welcome.

You've got to be kidding, right? Give you advice on bird shots?
This is different for you, but I really do like the perspective. Just wear a hat for goodness sake! lol

You're asking the wrong guy for improvement tips Eggz. You are the highest flyer of bird photographers I know. Beautiful.

Great shot very sharp, I cant see how you could improve this picture it is good as it is, maybe you could do a bit of editing in photo shop and have the bird flying partially out of a frame?

Great inflight capture. His posture reminds me of a C-5 coming in for a landing.
