Blue Tailed Bee Eater Fight

[Kiran Poonacha]

Dear Friends,

Had lost my laptop and other work issues kept me away from posting for a while.

I am restarting my post with these Blue Tailed bee eaters

These guys visit southern India to nest early summer and this was a moment when they were fighting for the best perch to attract mates.

Spec: 1/4000, F 5.6, ISO 800, +1/3

Mk4+500mm.

Regards,

Kiran.

Hi Kiranbhai, great fighting poses with outspread wings from both Bee eaters, and both nice and sharp. Colours look good, and I like the hint of blue on their tails. Good complimentary BG too.

Fantastic image! Everything is perfect -- the balanced composition, perfect positioning of the birds, fascinating behavior ...

Killer light, BKGR, birds, and image. The bird on the right is dead solid perfect. Wish only that luck had left the bird on our left with it's head parallel to the imaging sensor. How large a crop?

Thanks guru, yeah the left bird could have been better, this is about 75% of the original.

Thank you all dear friends for the warm welcome back.

Regards,

Kiran.
