Southern Carmine Bee-eater and Juvenile

[Arno Ellmer]

A feeding sequence by an adult and juvenile captured in the northern Kruger National Park ,South Africa
Not quite sure why the adult was feeding the juvenile so diligently ... the juvenile was quite successful itself in hawking wasps and bees !
I will post a few more shots of this series later.
Canon Mk IV
500mm + 1.4x
f/7.1
1/2500 Av
ISO 800
EC +1/3
Cropped on all four sides.
Would appreciate all comments/suggestions , particularly on comp

Nice image Arno! I like the interaction, catch, colours and BG. Looks like a little motion blur on the heads. Crop is challenging and I think I would have went with the same one.

Fantastic behaviour shot! Just some more sharpening as it looks like it wasn't sharpened after resizing.

Real nice shot. Great timing, love the background, and perch. They do look a tad soft, other than that..
Well done.

Hi Arno, well timed to capture the exchanging of food. Comp wise, your vertical does work due to the long tail of the parent. I imagine if you went landscape and placing them centrally, would work, but the size of the tree going left may cause a distraction.

Arno

this is superb action emotion pack image. would love to see horizontal crop too.
giving it some USM would surely help improve this beautiful image.
