Hello Ulla,
Beautiful photo of this landing bird. Great timing! Good sharpness and natural colours. I can see it was very windy. In flight photos are most of the time very attractive. Time for me to post another in flight bird photo, maybe soon.
Regards,
Peter

Great job Ulla. Both are in your DOF, and two heads are better than one of course :)
That landing pose looks very familiar for some strange reason also ;)
Good colors, details, and the BG provides a softened look at the environment that contrasts with the birds nicely..
Well done!

Hi Ulla,

Seeing this might have been pure luck but capturing such a fine picture of these Bee-Eaters is an excellent example of your fine photography. I saw the picture before I saw the name and assumed it was Howard's. You froze the moment perfectly with beautiful colors and details. The one on the branch seems to be waiting patiently for the companion. I'm surprised you waited so long to post this gem.

Hi Ulla,

Cute capture of this colorful pair. The poses you caught are excellent, and the surroundings are natural the way I prefer. Sharpness and DOF are excellent as well, the blurred background is very nice. Exposure is spot-on MF!
TFS and have a great WE!
Cheers,

Bayram

Bonita y equilibrada composición. Naturalidad en los colores que como siempre mantienes gracias (supongo) al poco tratamiento electrónico que les aplicas.
Buen fin de semana Ulla.
