Hi Zeno,
You must have had a great time there: 200 species in 7 days, that's impressive! This is a superb capture of this cute bird that I would love to see someday! Tones of colors, composition, details and exposure are just perfect. This is very nice and cute. Thanks!

Hello Zeno,
I have recently shot and posted the pictures of the Bee Eater found in north India.
Your Bee Eater from Gambia has a set of different colours on the throat. Even the overall plumage of your species is more colourful.
The image is very sharp and well composed. I like the diagonal placement of the subject against a blurred BG.
TFS and regards.

Hello Zeno
Your little Bee-eater is so colourful! I love the sharp details and vivid colours. The way he's sitting on the branch is show balance and excellent composition. Well done.

Hello Zeno,
Wow, Gambia caught my eye and I'll certainly follow your postings carefully now! We went there asome years back and it was fantastic. We'd like to go back but the flight from here is 9 hours via Tenerife which is a real bore!
Anyway, this is a good start with this lovely little Bee-eater very nicely caught. Excellent sharpness and colours and I love its pose. Well composed too.
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Hi Zeno.
Sweet picture of lovely bird. Pictured scene is amazing. Subject is so simple but very fine. POV and composition are superb as ell as the terrific exactness of details and beauty of the colour pattern. BG is the best for this character. Bravo and TFS.

Hallo Zeno,
Door mijn werk kan ik deze maanden niet op vakantie, maar Gambia staat op nummer 1 voor de wintermaanden. Wat lijkt me dat fantastisch. Ben erg jaloers op wat je gezien moet hebben. 200 soorten in 7 dagen! Deze eerste foto getuigt daar van. Wat een topper!
Hier mankeert werkelijk niets aan. Grote klasse.
Groet,
Peter

Hi Zeno,

What a nice place to be to photograph birds. Gorgeous image of the bee-eater, I love the composition and your square frame suits this picture very well. Excellent details in the plumage, amazing vivid colours and what a superb eye. Beautiful bakground also!

Hello Zeno,

I really like this splendid picture of this bee-eater!!! Colors of the bird and bg colors and awesome, to say the least!!! I like also the aperture choice you made (f/6.3) letting us see so clearly the depth of field (look at the branch)!!! Details, pov, natural colors,etc cannot be better!!!

Very impressive image!

TFS!
