While taking shots of a barn swallow sitting on the railing of a bridge, another one swooped in. Must have been jealous of all the attention the pretty poser was getting...sometimes birds are like that (-;

Had I been expecting this, I would have used different camera settings (f/9, ISO 800, 1/1600s), but the effect is still pretty dramatic
