Spent another morning out at my local NWR looking for new things to shoot. Ended up with a couple shots of these guys, it took a few Hundred to get one on the wing that i liked. But all in all i think i came out with a good one in the end..
CC is always welcome with my posts

#2 Almost Got Lunch
#3 Mmm Mmm Good !
Three very intersting captures! I think if you darken these up a bit they will post much better.
First shot would be better compositionally better if there was more room in the direction the bird is looking, nice setting though.
Second shot, I give you all the credit in the world on that capture for both the swallow and the insect on the fly! Very cool capture.
Third shot witht the red dragon is neat, you can tell the swallow had her eyes on it!
Great start, just a little darker posting and these would come alive, hope to see more from you Justin!

Some very nice shots, Justin. I would agree with Karl's helpful hints and critique. That second shot is definitely special. You really caught that one at just the right moment.
Thanks Guys, im glad i finally got something worth posting. I have been lurking for almost a week now. Just been so Amazed at all the talent on this forum. Its so hard to include my work ( which is that of a beginner ) with all the great shots on here...
Also thanks for all the advice. Im still learning my equip, and will always take CC to the fullest.
Hey welcome aboard, most of us lurked a lot longer than a week! I really like that the second shot. I agree with the comment about the comp in #1, have you considered a vertical crop close to the tail? Just a thought.
Hi Justin.
Welcome to the forum, nice entry, post a little darker, as others have said. Remember, everyone, had to start from somewhere, sometime, all these great photographers-didnt to it the first try/day.
Cheers
