This is another picture I made in Hungary. Those bee eaters are the most amazing birds I have ever seen in real life. Their colors, but also their sound is just addictive......

What a sweet image !!!! A hat trick !!!! Might tighten the image a bit? Man if that lower left bird had its head turned a bit can only imagine Big Congrats Like it a lot !!!
This is quite elegant and the light is lovely. Compositions with three birds are extremely tricky; you have done quite well here. In a dream world the left-most bird would have turned a bit more towards you like his more cooperative neighbors.

What a lovely image, the composition, details and colors are wonderful. I can only imagine how hard would be to all all birds looking in one direction.
This is one of the best images I jhave had the pleasure of veiwing. You really have to pick to find an error in this shot, and that would only be the qct of God to get the bird on the left to turn. Just fantastic!!
Very nice and colorful. The only very minor nit has already been mentioned. I wonder how this would look like with a shorter lens and a regular 3:2 crop, to show the three birds in their environment?
