Another Bee-eater in flight

[Paul Burdett]

Hi all. Here's another bee-eater in flight, taken at the same location as my previous post. Fairly large crop unfortunately. Cheers.

D500/500PF, 1/4000th sec@f7.1, iso1600, manual mode hand held.

Paul I would suggest reduce crop size IQ is suffering badly, colours look good but saturation/contrast maybe a little too much.

[Paul Burdett]

Thanks Jonathan. Must admit the IQ is quite good on the full size image. I'm fine with the saturation/contrast. Cheers.

Hi Paul ... a really cool flight pose .
But the IQ is not working for me personally .... and I am with Jon about the contrast .

Sorry to say , for me this would be a non keeper purely because of the IQ .

Thanks Andreas. I'll take another look at the raw and redo the crop to try to "save" this one. Cheers.

Incredible flight pose. With luck the bird would have switched the central tail feathers angle and the head angle :)
