He might has seen his reflection in the lens and thought it was competition, but what a excellent shot mate, superb frozen action, beautiful colours, really well captured.

Cheers Rick :)

Hello Jon,
This frontal POV really shows up the rainbow colours of this bee-eater taken in a great pose against a fine OOF natural BG.
Thanks and have a good weekend,

Hello Jon,
Nice to see a post from you again and I like this different view of a Bee-eater! I love the round face, the red eyes and the spread out tail feathers. Wonderful colours and very well done!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Very excellent capture Jon. With your rushed shot, you have still managed to capture very good depth of field with great focus on the eyes, and good visibility down to the final tail feathers. It's well composed with room on the left (forward for the bird) to fly. The blur on the wings adds to the scene. This is a very unique shot, which won't easily be duplicated.

Thanks, enjoyed! John

Hello Jon,

What a story!!! I'm laughing just imagining the scene :-)

I like this squared composition which work very well here! Colors are impressive and he really looks furious!

It is just a little bit pity that the head is not so sharp (a little bit blurred) but having it flying toward you I don't think I would have done better too !

Great shot and TFS!
