[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture is dedicated to Howard Cheek (marhowie) and to the young couple :)

In this picture I caught a couple of Bee eaters with the sun in the BG, the sky were very bad at the end of the day for takung pictures, the light was very low, but the haziness created a great atmosphere for this picture.
Fortunatly I saw these couple that were seating on the branche a little bit far, it was perfect for me, I missed the moment of feeding, but I caught them in an interesting situation (I think),
I hope you will like it.

Hi Elroyie,
Looks great with the naked branches and the colourless sky: the sun is so pale it could be the moon.
Well done and TFS

I love this photo! Great composition and nice moment. The tittle is appropriated ;-)

Hi Elroyie, the silhouette works great against the setting sun.
Very good composition.
Well done

Wonderful composition, high aesthetic dose and great tonning, congrats friend.

Good demonstration that we don't always have to come as close as possible, to get a nice shot.

"What a coincidence Elroyie..I clicked on TN and your post is the wallpaper on my desktop :) Are you sure you own the copyright to this one? ;-}} I've forwarded this one to my son & his new wife.
Lovely shot, very nice romantic mood set in the photo..
Excellent..and Thank You!"

Hello Elroyie
I love this! The sun a bit muted in the background brings the centre of attention to the two Bee eaters. The tree branches silhouetted brings, textures and interest to the photo. Nicely done and TFS Janice

Hi Elroyie,
This is a neat image - sort of half way between Trek Nature and Trek Lens. Good work.
John

Hi Elroyie,
In thought it is lover under the moon in thumbnail. Great composition and POV. A bit sad feeling with leaveless tree. Well done and TFS.

Salut Elroyie
This is a superb piece of work in my opinion. The muted colours and the silhouettes of the trees work so well.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Elroyie,

I like very much that picture and the mood it bring us in! It is in fact a romantic picture, isn't it? You capture a very nice moment between those 2 bee eaters and you managed very well the exposure in this difficult light! Very well done and TFS,

Michel
