    Congratulations Chris van Rooyen
    Little bee-eater

    I usually try to avoid photographing small subjects in side-light conditions. However, in this instance, the soft quality of the light and the complimentary colours in the background prompted me to try it. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. This image was created on my trip to the Okavango earlier this month.

    Camera Model: NIKON D3
    Date/Time: 2009:09:05 16:19:22
    Shutter speed: 1/1250 sec
    Aperture: 6.3
    Exposure mode: Manual
    Exposure compensation: -1/3
    Flash: Off
    Metering mode: Multi-segment
    ISO: 500
    Lens: 500mm
    Focal length: 700mm
