    Hello Bishan


    Nice feeding moment you have captured here, Bee eaters are one of my favourite birds because of their beautiful colours and that they seem to 'play' with their food before they eat it. I have a few similar shots of the rainbow bee eaters doing similar things. The image has a lovely background, but its a pity the chest of the bird is in shadow. I think the colours are a little bit muted in some areas because of the poor light angle and the high contrast situation at the head.

    regards

    DON.

    The bird placement is perfect! Love the sharp details. Nice timing in the moment of about to catch the bee. The weakness of this photo is that the front side is totally in the shadow. I think fill flash would have been great.
