amazing pic, great composition. TFS Ori

Hi Volkan
So lovely to see this pair sitting side by side. I like the colours and sharpness of the bee-eaters and the catchlight in their eyes is lovely.
Cheers
Sue

Hi Volkan ,
What a fine pair to capture!WOnder how close were you to them..!!!
The details are splendid and they look quite quite identical.You have succesfully managed to get catchlights in both their eyes and i like those fluffed up feathers with great details.The PoV is really intereting.
Very well done.
TFS & cheers

Hi Volkan,

Away, just marking

Pekka

Goodness, they look like identical twins! You've got an excellent close up here. The colors are brilliant and the fine details around the eyes, not to mention the eye color itself can be seen - that tells me you had just about perfect exposure and shutter speed. These are two of the most beautiful birds I've seen - and I'd like to see more of them - I'm allergic to bees! Very, very fine shot!

Hi Volkan.
This is my dream to take similar picture of the wonderful birds. However I cannot come close to them at all in my places. Your picture is simply outstanding in every aspect. Sharpness and details of all features of both bird are superb as well as the pictured scene at whole. Bravo. Perfect job. My compliments.
Alexei.

Volkan, bu güne kadar gördüğüm en güzel arıkuşu kompozisyonu bu. Netlik mükemmel, renkler nefis, tüylenme detayları harika! Bundan iyi ne olabilir ki?
