Blue-Throated Bee-Eater

[Rey Sta Ana]

This is one of the most colorful birds that you can find in our country which incidentally is also one of my favorites.

Very nice shot of this colorful bird, Rey.... welcome to BPN-Asia! :)


BTW, the image as posted exceeds the allowable size (maximum of 150 MB or 800 pixels in the longest side).... please repost in the proper size. :)

Very nice for a handheld shot! The sharpness, exp, and BG are good. I think that the tail is too close to the edge of the frame however. You could add canvas down there to correct this.

Also, I believe that the new max. posting size is 200kb, 800X800.

You're right, Dan.... I was looking at our guidelines (No. 18):

Thanks a lot for the nice words. Sorry for the oversized image, here's the smaller one.

Nice colours with great background and details. Like it.
