I like the pose, HA, wind blown feathers and composition. Perch colour compliments the bird well. Nice image Satish.

Hi Satish, good DOF from tip to tip, and you have the colours spot on. Perfect sharpness, and the wind blown plumage adds interest. Love the inquisitive stare.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Satish you really have got the hang of this now - well done, great exposure and sharpness, super pose.

[Lorant Voros]

Nice frame, like the pose and the feathers. Just the right amount of sharpening for my taste. Well done.

Satish, loved the pose, the colors, HA and the composition. Angle a bit steep but since the bird is looking downwards, it works. If you crop a little from the bottom, the angle will appear less steep.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Love the colors of these little guys! HA is good and very well done overall!

[Richard Unsworth]

Really well done Satish - lovely job :-)

[Charlie Schwencke]

Great one Satish.

I'm just getting ready to post a image of the Rainbow Bee-eater from Australia they look very similar.

[Ivan Ellison]

Super shot, great sharpness and the feather detail is lovely, nice to get him looking down at you and fluffing his feathers at the same time.

[Karl Egressy]

Beutiful image Satish, Love the pose, colours and the ruffled feathers.

[John Cooper]

Another lovely portrait of the Bee-eater Satish - good IQ, HA and the fluffed up plumage adds further interest. Its nice to see the complete tail feather here as they so often get broken when diging their nest tunnel/chamber.

Hi Satish,

This beauty is presented with good balance, and interesting angles of all components.

I agree that the wind-blown feathers add a lot of interest. Fascinating to see the mono-colored under-feathers on such a spectacular bird.

[Satish Ranadive]

Thank you all for your nice comments and kind words.

Regards,
Satish.
