Great job getting two good head angles. BG is pretty good too. Might crop a tad from the right.

Nice shot. Agree with the right crop recommendation. Possibly take out from the junction of the lower branch to the right.

Darn, you Europeans are killing me with all of these beatiful bee-eaters. Well done with lovely colors and sharpness. The crop from the right is a good suggestion but better--all things being equal to have framed the image well to the right to eliminate the junctions of the two branches on the right. Losing the branch that comes out of the bird's belly is an option...

Great details and head angles. I might increase saturation and/or contrast a few points.

Very nice composition, not easy with two birds (HA etc.)
Great colors and sharpness, I like it!

Every day we are treated to another great Bee-eater image. Agree about the crop from the right, but it is hard to look away from the birds. The DOF really makes a differerence here and the timing as others have said is perfect. Congratualtions. Thanks for sharing.
