Giuseppe:
Satish hit the hight points. Lovely light, details, colors, BG.

I might try to lighten the shadows on neck, but the all important eye is great.

A beauty for sure.

Look forward to more.

Cheers

That is a beautiful clear image with a complimentary BG. Very sharp and detailed.

Hi Giuseppe, good IQ, love the light, and the colours are spot on. You have a killer BG, and the catch a bonus. I would maybe tale a bit off the top, and add to the bottom.

Very nice Giuseppe. I personally always prefer to have more space below a flying bird than above it, but I don't know if this was cropped. If not, you could do what Stuart suggested.

tank you Giuseppe
Very nice and Lovely light, details, colors, BG..

[Ofer Levy]

Great sharpness and detail! Light, colours and BG are lovely too. If you would have got the frame a split second before it passed you that could have been even better.

Thanks to everyone for the comments. I fully agree with your advice. I spent much time with the bee-eaters looking for good shots in flight and honestly there is always something to improve.

excellent dynamic pose and great sharp details. I like the top side view of the wings. It's not easy to get them sharp against a varied BG and you nailed it
