Well, it is just a Roller, but it is the Roller picture that I was waiting for a long time...
I spotted the branch that the roller liked to stand on and I waited until he sat on it again, the time was before sunset and I had this wonderful warm light on the roller and on the background sand.
This picture is FF picture without any cropping at all, my hand was slipping on the zoom tightening ring and I coudln't pull it back for a little more room...
I hope you will like it.

Full description you can find in my former post European Roller.

Everything is perfect, exposure showing fantastic details and colors with the really nice soft background from the well chosen aperature. The lighting is just right. :)

Hi Elroyie,
Incredible shot...it may be "just a Roller" to you, but we don't see this bird at all in the UK (I think! I may be wrong). Beautifully sharp detail and the varying green colour is amazing. The smooth brown background shows him off at his best. Well worth waiting for. Best wishes, Vicky

Hi Elroyie,
this is a beautu and you have captured so well.
The details are great and the the shallow DOF brings the bird out nicely from the nice BG.
Well composed and very nice POV.
Great work, mf.

Hello Elroyie,
Beautiful sharpness and lovely colours with the contrast of the soft turqoise of the bird and orange background.
Very well done and TFS

Excellent capture Elroyie.
Great light and color, very nice BG as well..
Sharp, detailed, and I think it's good you could not pull back the zoom this time :)
It doesn't need more room IMO.
Very well done.

Hi Elroyie

Have been out of range for internet connection over the last few days. Been in a remote area of New Zealand called The Catlins, so now it is time for me to catch up on what has been happening.

Excellent shot. Well done on everything here. Thanks. -)
