bee eaters and merops apiaster two bee eaters

thanks for comments

Christian, a very nice capture. A less tight crop might work better here IMHO; assuming of course that this is not the full frame image. Aesthetically, it looses as bit due to the noise that is very apparent on the bird's wing in particular. I applied the Neat Image noise filter (Noise Ninja would be an alternative) to clean it up; didn't spend the time to optimize though. Regards, Dieter

It lacks a bit in sharpeness but what a truly great nature document this is. I bet you had a great day photographing them. Regards Alvaro.

Very good capture, a bit of sharpness would help.

Very nice, Christian. They have beautiful coloring... I've never seen a bee eater, have to look them up and see if we have them here in the U.S.

Another great capture in your collection of great bird photos. Very colourful birds and always great timing. BTW, I saw you're a math teacher - I have long forgotten my math but I did have a degree in Math many years ago.

what beautiful birds. first time i've seen them.

and i have to say you have a most beautiful and varied portfolio. that holds true in all your pics i've looked at.
