This is a cheerful picture for this cold and frosty day. All our swallows flew south a long time ago.

A unique title.

Very effective, the “ghost” bird makes the sharp focus on the front bird even more spectacular.

Cute, though I prefer natural settings. The swallow looks brittle!

Very cute photo. I love the cheerfulness of the composition and the colors. Well done

Very subtle light falls so gently on the swallow’s feathers, giving its head a soft glow, and the detail of its tail’s shadow falling on the stick, makes this a fantastic study of (winter?) light, the added dimension of a ‘ghost swallow’ gives the whole picture a beautiful focus.
