Wow you did good on the shot! Those critters are very difficult to even figure out where they are flying to, as they are such erratic flyers.

Nice capture! I feel your pain, I have been chasing finches around the last few days and it seems impossible to catch these little guys! You managed very nicely to freeze the action in a very fun scene. I always like pictures that tell a little bit of a story or show us a little bit about the behaviors of the beautiful animals we photograph. Great Job!

Hello Scott,
Superb shot! Both swallows are freezed perfectly in a great poses. Very good details and colours. Nice lighting too.
I wonder if you had possibility to frame it a little tighter? I think there's a bit too much free space around swallows.
Anyway, great job on this one!

Hi Scott,
Another excellent pic, as usually you post.
Great details and action, colours are good, Bg as well, maybe is not the tone that would be the better for this bird, but sometimes we must take photos as nature decide.
Congratulations

Hi Scott
Effective strategy for capturing the action, but it still required great reaction on your part. The fast shutter speed provides excellent detail on the attacker. I think a bit tighter crop might work well, but it's a brilliant shot.

Scott,
You raised the bar for yourself and you raised it very high! I think this shot is amazing! I like the way you froze the flying Barnswallow and got the sitting one nipping at him! The curvature of the in-flight bird is incredible! The one-legged stance is GREAT and the colors are vivid. Perfect isolation with the shallow DOF. High marks from me for this one buddy. This was NOT a big mistake because I LOVE it! It's hard enough to capture ONE b-swallow, let alone two! These things are so flighty and jumpy it's hard to get one to sit still! The only downside of this picture is, I wasn't there to give you a high-five when you saw it on your preview window on the 20D! Great notes, magnificent!
It's going straight to my favorites!

Hi Scott,
Woow, fantastic shot! Absolutely perfect timing, all the technical stuff is spot-on. A perfect moment to capture, real interaction between these two in a split-second. I know you know this already but using fill-flash in FP mode (Nikon speak for using flash beyond the sync range) would help freeze the action a little more. This shot doesn't need that though, you've captured it perfectly. Fantastic work my friend!
Cheers,
Adrian

Hi Scott,
Just pure respect, that's all what I can have for this photo. I am just amazed how you pulled this one off. I know these birds are as fast as lightning, so to get them as sharp as you did, you need to have a super control over the camera. I also like the pose of the one standing still on one leg.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Scott
Seems like you like to take up a challenge and will not let go until you achieved your goal. I believe you can rightfully claim your victory. Having said that though, I am sure it is not the last of this we have seen.
You have done marvellous work here for it sure was no easy task. Excellent composition & POV with well frozen action at 1/2000, brilliant details captured by the appropriate DOF, and perfect lighting/exposure control. Great note too.
Exceptionally well done and TFS.

Hi Scott,
exciting high speed encounter with excellent sharp result, showing a perfectly frozen motion in a very appealing and telling way. Your picture is very well composed - with enough open space around to create a scenery that looks like an open stage for these very dynamic and lively little actors. Superb contribution. Thank you!
Best regards,
Peter
