Often seen far away high in trees these birds are in my experience and that of others a real pain to get anything resembling a decent image of. Here is something reasonable I hope (still has a pesky leaf) Taken in Kidepo National Park, Northern Uganda 18th June 2012 EOS 1D MkIV 500mm F4 hand-held F7.1, ISO 800, 1/1600, EV +0.33
Magnificent image in nature. Love the pose,beautiful colors, great details and lights. Seeing this for the first time.TFS. Regards.
I like this image -- crisp and well-framed in the bird's habitat (I seem to like habitat shots more than most).
Hi Ken, I feel you have done well here. The roller is nicely in the open, and the colours really stand out against the leafy green foliage. Good pose too. I wish you had left a touch more room on the left.
Thanks everybody for your comments. Stuart, I keep cropping too close, needless to say I have plenty more room.
