Little Bee Eater

Canon EOS 5D Mark III,canon 600mm f4, f/6.3,ISO-800,1/1000,focal length 600mm.Image taken late afternoon from a car window on a beanbag.

Great color and action,nice bg.

Ed

Fabulous, dynamic pose. Great colors. Perhaps just a tad more sharpening around the head? A better perch would put this over the top.

Excellent action shot.

Wow! Beautiful bird, perch, composition, color, background and sharpness. And what remarkable action!

Charlene:

Perfect timing, nice background, sharp enough for me ( I don't require everything to be sharpened until it bleeds)

Although the perch show him well, the cut off end is a bit of a distraction.

Keep them coming.

Cheers

Randy

Wow -- what a catch!! And wonderful sharpness and detail!

Thank you Ed

Thank you Diane for the feedback.

Thank you Randy ,will look at another position next time,it was someone else's perch,could not move it.

Thank you Norm.

Thank you Karl.

Thanks Bill.

very nice action shot,beautiful BG,like the perch,but for the cut off end,and the broken piece,but,nice capture.

Everything except the cut off branch tip looks A1. Well done overall, you'll just need to convince that other person to get a better perch:S3:

Fully action packed spectacular image. Beautiful colors, nice details and composition.

Satish.

Charlene:

re: perch. I would cover up the white spot with the clone stamp or patch tool, and then lower the luminosity of the cut off end to match the darker bark. The little white pith draws the attention like a bulls eye, and I think you can soften it a bit.

Cheers

Hi Charlene, well timed for the toss, and you have the colours spot on. I still need one of these guys in my files. :w3

I like the action, sharpness, details, colors and clean BG. A beautiful bird that I would love to see some day, TFS.
