What kept you? I won.
I like wildlife photography, especially fast-moving targets and in this case it’s reasonably difficult to get a shot of a single swallow coming straight towards you at high speed let alone two. The main difficulty getting a good depth of field so that both were in focus. They were racing as you often see with a couple of swallows, and they really do go flat out. It appeared that the winner was actually talking to the loser hence the title!!!
Post processing notes:
Processed in ON1 RAW, very basic AI Brilliance adjustment of tone and colour, mid tone and shadow adjustment followed by noise and sharpening with sharpening reduced to 41 as I find the default often over sharpens. Finally, a big softy vignette.Exif information:
