[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Green Bee-eaters (Merops orientalis)are fairly common in large parts of Asia as several sub-species. This is the nominate subspecies which I photographed nearby our hotel using the Coolpix through my Zeiss Diascope. This shot is quite heavily cropped.

Hi Ivan

Lovely shot, I really like the pose with the two birds eyeing each other up, lovely colours too with a nice blurred BG.

Great moment you have captured, Ivan.
Such a cute expression on the bee eater on the right. : )
Their colors are quite fantastic, and you caught them with sharp details well shown against a shallow DOF. Nice composition.
TFS. : )

Hi Ivan,

Very good composition. Pity about the cropping, it did affect the sharpness. A pose like this, however, deserves showing off.

I sharpened it slightly in the workshop.
