This is another picture I made in Hungary. Those bee eaters are the most amazing birds I have ever seen in real life. Their colors, but also their sound is just addictive......

What a lovely country it should be:D
Very nice unique shot. I would like to see a vertical crop of it with 5:4 or 3:2 ratio. :)

I am normally not a fan of square cropped photos, but in this case it works great. A fine image all round.

Great image! I agree with Al's comments and would add that the BG looks a bit noisy.

This is quite elegant and the light is lovely. Compositions with three birds are extremely tricky; you have done quite well here. In a dream world the left-most bird would have turned a bit more towards you like his more cooperative neighbors.

Welcome to BPN. And later and love, artie

Hello and welcome.

What a lovely image, the composition, details and colors are wonderful. I can only imagine how hard would be to all all birds looking in one direction.

Beautiful birds and to get three in one shot, way cool! Don't care much for square crops normally but I think it's perfect here.

This is one of the best images I jhave had the pleasure of veiwing. You really have to pick to find an error in this shot, and that would only be the qct of God to get the bird on the left to turn. Just fantastic!!

If the guy in the bottom left was looking this way, this would be waaaay over the top! Very nice. Love the colours and the BG, Hillebrand.

Very nice and colorful. The only very minor nit has already been mentioned. I wonder how this would look like with a shorter lens and a regular 3:2 crop, to show the three birds in their environment?
