Good shot in harsh light. I would try to pull a little more detail out of the back.

Neat swallow, Basri. You got a great angle on it and a nice bg.

I like the low angle and good side view of this swallow Basri. I do wish you would have stopped down a bit though. Doesn't seem like f/5.6 got you enough DOF for the back half of the bird. At ISO 250, you could have easily bumped to ISO 640 or even ISO 800 and kept a fast SS at f/7.1 or f/8.

Beautiful species nicely captured here Basri, I agree with Kurt that you had plenty of light to stop down and get more of the bird and mud in focus that would have made it even better.
