    Default European Roller

    This was taken in the Kruger National Park in Jan. A very prominent species in the park in summer. I like the feather detail and colors. It is a bit tight but it is full frame. Joys of primes.

    Hey Dumay, yep, at that time of the year, these guys outnumber the LBR's. Good DOF, and the roller is nice and sharp. Comp works too.

    Very nice head angle and feather detail. I think it's a bit tight on the vertical side. TFS.

    Lovely and sharp, Dumay. I agree with your self-crit re more room. That lens has rendered the BG beautifully.
