    Default Blue Cheek Bee Eater

    Had a chance to get close to this species which gave me enough time to make nearly 10 closeup frames. Tweaked some levels and removed some branches.

    Focal Length 560 mm
    Exposure Time 1/800 sec

    Superb pose, details, light and graduated bg. Good call on the DOF. Lovely stuff.
    If anything, I'd move him further up in the frame a bit and probably tone down the highlights slightly.
    Nicely done.

    Abdul, you have exposed the colours very well, and the overall sharpness is there too. I agree with Sidharth to move him up in the frame, and the BG colours compliment the BE superbly.

    I am loving this capture exactly as presented. I rarely see a BG that so superbly matches a subject.
