We almost missed this Roller as we were driving across the savannah. He sat on that perch for several minutes while we fired away, first at a distance, then we gradually eased the vehicle closer and closer and he didn't seem to mind. I hope you like. C & C welcome. Thanks.

Dan, you mentioned "savannah" - was this in Africa somewhere? Well exposed colours, and I like the comp and pose. Killer BG too. I would maybe run another round of sharpening on the roller. These guys are pretty relaxed most of the time. You also have to be lucky to get them in the open as you have here.

Beautiful bird, and I like the nicely weathered perch it sat on for you guys. Awesome BG, and the comp is about the best you could ask for with the long trailing tail. Perhaps a bit more shrpening on the face would bring out some finer details for web posting.

Beautiful image. Thought a slight boost in contrast and colours can improve it a bit.
