Little Bee-eater

[Dennis Behn]

Here is another shot from my Tanzania trip with Artie. I cropped some empty space off the top and removed a bit of branch clutter
from the bottom. I studied the saturation a bit harder on this one so I'm hoping it's about right.

Absolutely stunning bird! Such amazing color! Looks like f/8 was the perfect aperture choice; I like how the entire bird is in focus but the perch on both sides is soft. Not sure if I see a spider web or a cloning artifact on the bottom of the perch half of the way past the bird.

Amazing bird and amazing colors. The yellow was exposed right which is hard to do sometimes. Nice background too.
