    Girish, Really liked this one...This looks similar to what Stu posted earlier and this one is even better as we have both birds with catch.
    Excellent sharpness, DOF, Great Pose and love the way both birds are looking in same direction...Love that BG as well.

    Girish,
    Brilliant composition and wonderful techs. Great head angles and both birds with catch is really special. Excellent image.

    Hi Girish, is there a bee-eater theme today. Great double, both with perfect poses, HA's and each with a catch. Well done for getting both in focus and sharp, and their colours look good.

    I love all the Bee-eater shots, but this one is superb. Perfect matching HA's, both with prey. Excellent colors, bg, sharpness, exposure. Amazing shot. Congrats.

    This capture is so perfect that it looks as though the birds posed just for you and that you placed a bug in each of their beaks. Gorgeous!!!
