Wow... look at that tail! Nicely composed shoy. The plumage colours stand out well against the clear blue BG. Nice catchlight in the eye. Well done. :-)

Great crystal clear shot. You are using a good lens at 400mm and a digital that will make that about a 600mm in 35mm equiv... did you have to crop the final image heavily? I would imagine this was originally a landscape layout image.

The colors on this bird are incredible, Daniel.
Great capture with sharp details and beautiful composition.
What a shot! TFS. : )

Fantastic photo.....the colours are superb!! This bird has to be the most beautiful bee-eater in Southern Africa! :)

Composition is excellent - sharpness v good and there is the catchlight in its eye to cap it off!!

Hi Daniel,

You were a lucky man! Taking pictures like this is a dream.
Great colors and splendid pose of the bird.
My compliments.

regards,
Zeno.

Hi Daniel,
Wederom: een plaatje...!
Ik vraag me dan af...huur je dan iemand ter plekke om te rijden...of is alles georganiseerd en moet je 'meelopen' met toeristen? Wat zijn je ervaringen hieromtrent?
