    A great capture, certainly makes it easy to see how this one got its name. The right wing draws your eye away from the eye of the Bee Eater. Have you tried brightening the head and eye a bit? Too bad he's not angled just a bit more toward you, but overall a terrific action shot.

    Terrific closeup, I think a bit smaller in the frame would look nice.

    Wow, very nice! Bonus prey item and terrific BG. As a "HA police" member I have to say I do not mind the subject angled away here. The only thing is that I wish the near wing's tip was not so aligned with the far wing's edge. All-in-all a very strong image

    this is a very tough shot to get I'd go for a bit more contrast

    Excellent work!

    Great flight shot. The bee in the beak makes it special. I would have applied one more round of sharpening, if it had been mine. I wish!
