Hi Christian,

Very good composition with this photo and a nice highlight in the eye but try using at least F8 or higher to increase your depth of field. This is especially true with longer lenses.
I usually try for F8 or F11 with a shutter speed of the inverse of the effective focal length of the lens. eg my 500 mm lens is effectively 500 X 1.6 on digital cameras = 800 mm lens so I try to have my shutter speed at least 1/800 seconds

Hello Christian,
This is a really lovely sharp capture of the Little Bee-eater in sharp focus and lovely colours. The composition is very fine too.
TFS and regards,Siggi

Christian,
This photograph is beautiful. I love the detail in the feathers and the bright colors, especially the blue above its eye. Very well done.
TFS,
Matt
