Ofer, I like the pose, seems like he showing off his juicy dragonfly. Colours look natural, and well exposed. Interesting perch. Well captured.

Very nice image Ofer, great pose and good detail. Can you tell me exactly where you took this? Have never seen them anywhere near Sydney before? So well done!

A similar looking species " Blue-tailed Bee-eater" is found here in India Ofer, they also take most times Dragon flies. You have got here a total winning shot of this beauty.

Thank you everyone for the comments and kind words!
Marc, this was taken in the colo River - email me so I can send you the exact location. They should be busy feeding the chicks right now. Was there about two months ago when they were starting digging the nests.
Cheers,
Ofer
