Agree first one is better. Can you bring up the shadows? May be me but seems a little dark. Captures are nice and sharp.
Looks like a busty time for the Swallow.
Well done,first one for me too,though second is cracker also....
Really nice shots..I like both compositions ....love the color on the bird...I've been watching swallows out my window all spring nesting....will have to set up my camera....but I really like the birdhouse you have there !
They are both very nice Irene , lovely colors and a beautiful bird As far as I can see the images look a bit noisy, may be you can fix it with some more PP
Thank you Gridddi, John, Tim, Jim. Benjy, Nat, & Binnur.
I appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Sorry I am late to this party as I was really tired last night so I just copied the link so I can find it today...I am not missing anything, am ?
Anyway, moving on...I love both images -- I wouldn't know which one to choose between the two...
Thanks Izzie.
