Hello Farid,
Really agreat shot of this hoopoo, in a very nice composition. Sharpness and the colours are great.
You were very lucky I saw the hoopoe only high in a tree.

Hello Farid,
This is a fine shot of an African Hoopoe. It is well composed and sharp with fine BG. But it is too dark, so I've used the WS to improve it.
I hope you don't mind.
Regards, Ivan

I agree on Argus workshop.
Excellent capture. Beautiful bird.

Hi Farid

What a superb capture!
The single bird would have been enough for a beautiful post, but the moment you managed here is magnificent!
The POV is excellent, the exposure is great and the sharpness is amazing considerring the focal length.
Very well done!

Bravo and TFS
Horia
