    Morning time.

    As I wrote on one of my recent post, the BeeEater season start in Israel, so sorry if it's boring you.

    Thank you for looking and I will appreciate all critiques.

    Hi Haim, another pleasing Bee-eater composition set against a great BG. I find however the head and face of both bee-eaters are a bit dark. Selecting these area and lightening in an editing program would work wonders for your image.

    I love bee-eaters and like this image, Haim. I would be tempted to completely lighten both of the birds in their entirety.

    Great interaction and colors. I'd probably lighten the upper bird's eye a bit and maybe sharpen the same bird's head a little more.

    Gorgeous birds, great composition, love the background. To see the "correct" colors on the web, it is necessary to convert the image from AdobeRGB color space to sRGB (only the Safari web browser uses embedded color profiles). I converted the image and lightened it a little.

    Deiter's re-post is much better but the eye of the back bird could be better still. Lovely background and interaction. I would not mind a bit more room above.

    Great behavior and action captured. The repost looks much better and I agree with Artie regarding a wider crop.
