Hi Selen!

To be at the right place at the right moment... or to be very patient! This could be the descriptive notes of this amazing picture. Congratulations for having captured the very moment when the poor bee had to disappear. Together with your very interesting and instructive notes this is a highly valuable posting.

Kind regards

Hello Selen,
Not exactly a friend of the beekeeper, but an excellent capture of a Bee-eater about to swallow one of our honey producers. The pose, and sharpness are so good that I might have been tempted to crop this to just include this individual without the other one that is looking away.
Whatever, this is an excellent capture and thanks for sharing it.
Best wishes, Ivan

Hello Selen,
Another excellent and very well-timed shot of the Bee-eaters. Without the left one it would have been even better but I expect you couldn't crop it any more. Anyhow, the bee-hunter is beautifully in focus and details very sharp. I love their colours!
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Selen,
Wonderful shot of this European Bee-eater duo perched so elegantly. Amazing colours and details on their plumage and the warm lighting looks superb. Fantastic moment captured but the heart goes out for that tiny bee. Very skillful work. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Kudos.

Hi Selen,

I have only seen Bee Eaters in picture - I'd love to see one in real life. But this is a first - to see one with a bee in his mouth! Fantastic timing to capture this. Beautiful colors, sharp details, lovely background and quite a bonus to have two in the frame.

Hi Selen,
yes of course, a Bee eater eats bees! Wonderful action shot of the otherwise sitting birds! How you achieve this high level of photography is your secret, but patience is probably a part of it. Thanks for sharing.
My bestregards

What a great action shot, Selen!
Even I had tried this when the Bee Eaters were ever present on the electric wires outside my house last winter. However, mine was an amateurish effort; this is truly professional.
Capturing a moment like that and that too with such phenomenal clarity is well neigh impossible.
These European Bee Eaters are lookers in term of colours on them.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful image.
