Hi Annick

Wonderful shot of the Bee-eater, I like your composition with the bird and the log filling the right hand bottom of the frame, nice details and lovely colours, I like the way the OOF BG matches the Birds back and tail colours.

Hi Annick,
I love the subtle colors on this image, both on the bird and in the BG.
Composition is awesome, with the clean BG.
Impressive range of color values on the plumage.
Another beautiful contribution to your outstanding portfolio. : )

Hello Annick,
What a beautiful White-throated Bee-eater not often seen on TN. I like its pose and it stands out very nicely against the smooth background. Fine sharp details and lovely colours too.
Many thanks, Ulla

Hello Annick,
Nice one of a White-fronted Bee-eater.
This is a good composition if the square format is to be avoided.
Excellent pose, POV, shapness and bokeh.
TFS this beauty,

Hallo Annick,
Nog een mooie foto van deze Witvoorhoofdbijeneter. Vooral de compositie met de zachte achtergrond vind ik erg mooi. Goede scherpte en fantastische kleuren die een harmonieus geheel vormen.
Groet,
Peter

Fine image of this Bee-eater!
Superb DOF that has rendered the BG completely blurred into almost one colour!
Very sharp and crystal clear.
Nice lighting and tones. Maybe a boost of saturation would add more "punch" to the shot.
Brilliant composition.
Well done Annick,

Joe

excellent shot, great comp and DOF. all around a nice shot, it looks a little flat,some increase in contrast would definitely help. I will do a workshop on this

Annick,
Great job with no beanbag. Perfect sharpness on the bird, BG Color complement the bird well. Composition is also good, I love it. Colors and light is just excellent. Okay, I ran out of adjective that mean I really realy love it.

Hi Annick,

Very nice image of this lovely colorful bird.
Great composition giving the Bee-Eater lots of space to look in to.
Wonderful soft BG color tones and perfect DOF.
Paul did a very good job on giving the image a little more color saturation and contrast.
I personally would have given the image even more saturation, but that's just my opinion ofcourse.
Nevertheless it's a beauty anyway at wich it is a real joy to look at.
TFS!!!

Best regards and have a nice Sunday, Harry

Dag Annick,
I was een paar weken niet op internet en heb een en ander gemist.
Moi hoe de kleuren van de achtergrond terug te vinden zijn in het moie verenkleed van de vogel. Mooie compositie met veel ruimte.

Annick, Nice picture of the Bee eater. Looks slightly over-exposed, perhaps to light up the back of the bird. Nice specoie. I have not seen one in India.
