European Roller - Coracias garrulus

First the rollers were not very 'friendly' to me, they ran away every time I was nearby, but after some time I managed to catch normal behavior of this rollers like the stratching in this picture and like my former roller's picture. you can see the difference between those two to my first roller (with the full description).

The roller is not an easy bird to take its picture with direct sun on it because the blue glows in the light like in this picture, sometimes it can be good.

My former rollet: Just a Roller....

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

Hello Elroyie,
Your pictures are always breathtaking :) This one is no exception. I love the pose of the bird, those great details, composition, POV and exposure. This is a perfect shot! What a beautiful bird! I would maybe have cropped the twigs up right but it is nothing very important... Thanks,
Claudine

hello elroyie!
this is a great picture with
very good sharpness and nice
pov and dof
like the composition too
very well done!

Hello Elroyie

As usual a very nice picture from your hand. The sharpness is very good with plenty of details in the plumage. Clever handling of the light. Colours look very nice and natural. Also I like the pov and the pose of the bird which add some action to the picture. However I think the bird is too close to the centre - I am very much aware that it is a personal matter. Though I dared to make a ws to show you what I mean - hope it is OK.

Best regards
Mogens

Very nice shot Elroyie, composition, colour and exposure is excellent. very well done.
Regards, Krzysztof.

What a cute pose of this gorgeous roller, Elroyie.
You really captured his brilliant colors beautifully.
Very sharp details and wonderful POV.
TFS. : )

Hi Elroyie,
Magnificant photo!
I have never seen this bird in Israel.
Very good composition, details and exellect exposure. No over-exposed areas at all.

Shahar.

Hi Elroyie

Love the colours. Very nicely composed. Awesome BG. Good catchlight in the eye. This is stunning camera work. :-)

Fantastic moment and pose!!! Great colors and awesome sharpness! IT looks pretty funny!

Good capture!
Steph

Hi Elroyie,
This is an impressive pose!
I like so much the scene captured here, with that stretching moment of the bird's neck.
Excellent POV to catch this clear and sharp details, specially on the plumage, and their beautiful colors.
Great DOF and the very good background got.
Congratulations and thanks for share.
My best regards,
JM

Elroyie,
A superb one.
My only nit is the branch in the upper right corner; cloning:-).
If you do that it is definitely a stunner.

Fantastic details and colour representation really set this shot off well Elroyie.

I think the composition is ok but better in the WS. The light you were given is amazing and has brought the bird alive in the image. That twig top right is mildly distracting but only real nit.

Great job!
TFS
Simon

Elroyie , magnificient colors and ultra- sharpness , TFS.

Greetings from Sofia!

Hi Elroyie,
It's a wonderful pose and POV, there's No doubt.
Technically top-notch..
The roller is looking intently at that twig in the corner..He wants to be sure and miss it when he takes off ;}
Very well done mf.
