Hi Ralf, this is a beautiful shot of this Lilacbreasted Roller. I've never seen one of these before. This is an excellent presentation you've made for my first time. The composition is very good with him sitting on the single branch. Your use of depth of field has isolated him quite effectively from his background. The capture of colour and detail is excellent.

Thanks, John

Dear Ralf, fantastic POV, your DOF is also good in that you have an clean uncluttered BG. The colours are rich and the detail is perfect.
Well done.
