p.1 #1 · Two Flights in NYC Colors

NYC's colors are orange and blue so I decided to feature two creatures I photographed the other day in those colors.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

1) First monarch of the season

X-H2S XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens 500mm f/5.6 1/1500s 800 ISO +0.3 EV

2) Tree swallow landing

The swallow wins my pic Morris. Did he grab the side or elevate to land on the broken top piece?

Thank you Louie,

I have tree swallow images in another post that are at least as good as this one. I've been trying to figure out why nobody commented about them.

Thank you Eric,

The last push of his wings lifted him to the top.

Having spent an hour trying to capture a Swallowtail in flight (unsuccessfully), I am really impressed with the Monarch shot.
