    Default Another bee-eater

    Hi all,
    this is another one from my bee-eaters vacation. This fellow decided to perch right beside me, so I had to turn towards it really slowly. It was quite hard to fit the bird in the frame @ 300 mm.
    Any advises are more than welcome.
    Thanks,
    K

    Nice thorn perch. Like the pose on the bird and the colors.

    Nice image, I think I would like more room on top and bottom, it feels a little tight as is. The out of focus foliage on the left hand side bothers me a tad as well. I would be curious to see how it looks either recomposed in field to avoid inclusion or cloned out in post, it's just a bit distracting. Great bird!

    Very nice, as with your previous image the colours look real good. I don't mind the OOF leaves. Because of the HA it does need more room on top. Maybe try a vertical crop.

    Hi guys, thanks for the comments. Unfortunately I have no room on top. This is the full frame of the image. The bird was too close.
    Thanks, again,
    Kalin

    I love bee-eaters and I like this one as I have not seen this variety before. Love the details -- you could count the hair. BG and perch also quite nice.
