They don't call 'em barn swallows for nuthin'

Actually it was under a park shelter house. And about the only time you'll see a man-made object in my shot

Lighting was horrible like a barn - reflecting upwards off the concrete floor. I was able to get close by walking in real slow. Then slowly stood up on a picnic table to try to minimize the height difference.

Well the table already had lots of poop on it

Thanks, Knight, Minnesota, and Bev. Despite shooting at 1/180s nearly wide open at ISO 640, the shot was still underexposed. Took quite a bit of PP to bring out any detail out of the head.

Thanks for looking.
