    Default Blue Throated Bee Eaters

    Here is a couple more beeeaters, Blue Throateds this time having some sort of debate on a perch. This pic is a wee bit "hot" as it was near midday and I had been waiting a while for this to happen with 2 to 3 birds on the perch but not doing anything interesting. It finally came together for a split second. There was a 3rd bird on the right which could not be fitted into the frame.

    Sweet exchange!!! Love these birds!
    I'd lighten the eye on the one in the right, and you can post them 800 pixels on the longest side :)

    Clean background and nice perch!

    Hi Chien,
    As others have mentioned...........the interaction is very nice and I'm glad you didn't get the third one involved as it may have detracted from this. I also agree with Fabs on the eye lightening.

    Hi Tsechien!

    I love the interaction, and I love the beautiful colors! Would like to see these someday! The faint OOF stalk that is squarely in the middle bothers me a bit, and I would tend to remove it if it fits your ethics. Would be nice to be able to see it bigger!

    Thank you all very much for the valuable feedback.

    Will try posting a larger image the next time. I must have read the old guidelines on maximum sizing.
