[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another picture of the blue tail bee eater with a front profile!

This was again shot using car as a hide. As i mentioned earlier, most of my pictures are shot using car as a hide. The most important thing that you should look out for is avoid camera shake. What I usually do carry a small bean bag with full of beans and rest my lens of the bean bag before shooting and this allows me to keep the camera still while shooting.

This picture is bit tightly framed and the perch is not interesting, but the first one a photographer can correct whereas the second one is unavoidable as the bird might like it!!

Hope you guys like it.

Hello
Perfect capture with beautiful colors.

Hi Goutham,
a very good and clean shot with lovely natural colours.
It's well composed with lot of space for the bird to look into.
Well exposed with fine details.
Only nit is the spots to the left, close to the twig but that os a minor. Since we not allowed to clean the BG it's ok for me.
It's great you enjoyed my group, you are more than welcome.
Regards.
Gert

Goutham,

Beautiful shot of this lovely bird! The composition and cropping are well executed. The muted colors of the background really complement the colors of the bird. The blurring in the BG is nicely done as well - really helps the subject stand out. Well done!

Namastay Goutham, a splendid capture of this real beuty, blue-tailed bee-eater with lovely pose on a dried twig with wonderful BG and warm natural colours on its plumages.

Hi Goutham,

This is a classic pose and shot. The Graded colours of the BG is what many try to simulate in studio spending a fortune :) TFS

Hi Goutham.
I love this species a lot. We have in our region the same but these birds are too difficult for shooting (it is specificity of our countryside where I often live in summer). You have reproduced this beauty perfectly. Pictured scene is simply and at the same time wonderful. Shapes of this specimen, colouration and details are tremendous as well as nice smooth BG. Perfect jo,. My kind regards.
Alexei.

Goutham, Brilliant shot. Superb view and clear clarity. Ganesh

Gouthman,
utmost beauty of presentation. Very precise, very elegant, phnatastic pose. Reminds me of some of the best works of Audubon's artistic ornithology illustrations.
Interesting notes of the "making of". I appreciate the idea with the bean bag.
With thanks and best regards,
Peter
