Swallow in flight (Hirundo rustica)

Here it goes something I was dying to share but the flood of duties and activities I'm having in the last weeks keep me away from here persistently, sniff, :-C!!!

I suppose I should have frozen the wings, and avoided having vegetation coming out of the water in the frame but that's asking me for too much in my first attempt, LOL! :-O I'm very happy with this result though, and had to go into my gallery to share it with everybody!!! :bounce: I hope you like it, at least a bit!!!
