Voor mij is dit een echte topper! Technisch magnifiek en in schitterende kleuren. Ook de achtergrond is van grote schoonheid.
Ik zet hem in mijn favorieten. Grote Klasse!

Hi Zeno

Wonderful POV - very sharp with very good isolation from the BG. Excellent colour too.

Hi Zeno,

Wonderful prefect shot, nice harmony between bird's colors and background! Very well done!

Thank you,

Eugene

I really love the colour and DOF here. It is amazing how well the red eye stands out from all that green! I also like the eye contact - this is a very well put-together photo.

Hola Zeno.
Los colores verdes luce exelentemente con su fino fono, la pose del ave optima, y sus bellos ojos mirando a la camara le dan un valor agregado la presentacion.
Saludos Zeno.

Dear Zeno, Another excellent picture. The Bee eaters are blessed with brilliant colors and they have a taste for the background colors to match them to their own colors. This is one bird I love watching for ever.
