Superb Image here you have of the bee eater, we have one looking very close to this but the beard is blue ( blue bearded bee eater)
I love the sharpness on the image, the exposure is spot on and that eye is fantastic, perch compliments well to the subject
At end of the tail is it blue colour ?
I love the image
excellent sharpness and IQ, perfect color balance. great job getting the entire bird sharp.
The angle was a tad steep but the good HA and pose makes up for it. the veggies in the lower left are a bit distracting
TFS, keep them coming
Wow, great colours and IQ. Perch looks great and BG too (except lower left corner). I'd crop this a bit more at left and right, but all else look excellent.
Amazing bird! When you're used to dark eyed juncos, these colorful birds look unreal! I might tone down the perch a bit, and get rid of that spot by his head (dust?)

Hi Gary, tack sharp showing great detail, and the colours are really striking. I like the inquisitive pose looking up the perch, and if this were mine, I would take at least half off the LHS.
What a beautiful bird! I like the pose, details, sharpness, exposure and colours. I agree with crop suggestions and would also tone down the topside of the perch in the bright areas. Excellent image!
What a lovely colors combination he has got?
Love the pose,magical colors,sharpness and BG. If mine would crop on LHS and slightly on RHS.

Sorry about the delay, I just installed a 64 bit operating system and went with PS6. So getting it set up.
OK, good advice on cropping and getting rid of the vegetation in the corner.
The angle was a bit hard. I had to climb on top of a small hut with the lens and it was a bit shaky. It was the best I could do.
