Got this bird while on safari in Tanzania. It is amazingly colourful and when it flies, the sun glints on its wings making it look like flashes of colour ...

Hi Liezel,
That's simply a beauty
Well done and TFS - Shir

Hi,
This is one of my favorite bird. The colors are superb. In India we have Indian Roller, a similar one. This african cousin has more vibrant colors. Very good picture.

Hello Liezel,
a fine composition with glorious colour and good perspective, not sure that the border does it any favours though.

Regards
Terry.

Hi Liezel,

Nice colours
Best regards,

Hello Liezel,
This is truely awesome photo. But I looked again and again, and the colors does not seems to be natural. It lookls like that the colors were enhanced to a level which the photo looks more like a painting. I think the post processing should be carefully used.
But again, it is an impressive photo.

Regards,
Shahar.

Really beautiful picture of this so beautiful bird. I got two shots of it, one at the Etosha, the second one at Massai Mara, but for my eyes only: I don't think they're good enough for posting (still thinking about it...)
Best regards
Luís
