Swallow Portrait
Low Key Barn Swallow25 total reviews
Comment from Charlie Newman
I would say that you accomplished your objective as the swallow looks as though he is posing for a portrait. The lighting is focused just right to highlight the sparrow's key features and show the light in its eye. Very pleasing composition and well thought out.

This is a very subtle picture. It feels soft and peaceful. It is the lighting you chose that creates this. Your focus is wonderful. The details of the feathers, beak and eyes are so detailed.Your POV is good and the bird not being centered adds to interest.

Comment from Monica Morrell
I am loving this image. You have achieved your intentions very well.
The Key Barn Swallow's color show so nicely against the dark back ground.
It is an eye catcher for sure.
I would display this proudly under a light for a real pop.
Nicely done!

I need to paint again. it is vert therapeutic. I just haven't had much energy. One day at a time.
Thank you for your kind words.

I like chiaroscuro presentations...!
Dramatic illumination showing soft shadows and faint highlights.....
Nice subject placement in the letterbox frame...
Perhaps you can use a reflector or penlight to make the eye glow a bit..,;-)
Thanks for sharing...

I really like the low key Grace, and also how lovely the light is falling on the swallow. You have brought out the fine high light in the bird's eye, and the Orange colors are glowing.
Your Focus is spot on and Sharp showing truly Clear and well defined details, and the exposure is Perfect for a low key photo.
The format and framing is Perfect and the bird has got a fine placement in the Picture. Indeed a beautiful and well taken photo.

This is beautiful in contrast of light and dark. I love how the bird forms out of the darkness and it's detailed only with some elements of lighting. I love the way the color is subdued monochromatic

A fine looking portrait shot of the bird. She appears to be posing for you with a cute expression. The light and shadows, framing and the colours have worked well. Thanks for sharing!

I love this gorgeous, bright eyed-barn glossy swallow melting into the black! It both dramatizes the iridescence on his fathers and makes him look mysterious...
