Bee eater

[Tomas Calle]

Good day,

This is a picture of a Bee eater I took a few weeks ago. Comments and critiques will be welcome.

Mark III, 500 mm f/4 L IS, 1.4x, f/5.6, 1/3200 sec, ISO 400, tripod, hide and some coffe.

Hola Tomas,
Very nice subject wit a strong diagonal composition. I may desaturate the blues on the sky a little and a bit over the shoulder head turn would have made this a stronger image. Thanks so much for sharing.

Fabs has covered the two main issues for me: sky colour, and HA. Of lesser concern, but still something to think about are the steepish angle, and the harsh light you had to contend with.

I like the colours on the bee-eater itself. Exposed best you could for the harsh light, and sharp as posted.

Tomas, a beautiful image . . . As mentioned, would like to see the sky desaturated a bit and perhaps take a little slice off the left side.

Thank you for your advices
