Green Bee-eater

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

A green bee eater poses for me at the Tadoba Forest/tiger reserve in the evening light. The stump is a bit wide but this is where the bird chose to perch. Hope you like it.

Hi Sanjeev, excellent, killer BKG makes for a very striking image, Great detail in the subject and love the 'blood red' eye. Not sure if it needs a little off the top or bottom, or both?

Great stuff Sanjeev. Bird detail and colour exquisite. My only minor nit (and it is minor)would be the large perch but you have to grab what you can. No big deal A litte soething i the background would improve it too to give feeling of habitat but that again is a personal thing.

Excellent piece of work Sanjeev bird is super sharp and stands out very well against that nice clean b/g ,perch is the place the bird decided to land,love the eye on these Bee-eaters.

Great shot awesome colors and sharpness. I would crop off about half of the open BG on the top to tighten it up a little more.

Superb image, I really like how everything is in perfect focus. I too would crop just a bit from top and bottom.

Wow this a striking image with beautiful light, rich color, and excellent detail Sanjeev. BG is a great canvas for this handsome Bee-eater, and the perch doesn't bother me a bit. I agree that a stronger composition would be to crop some off the top raising the bird in the image. Excellent work, and a real pleasure to view.
