European bee-eater and dragonfly.

one of the most impressive Bee Eater photos I have ever seen! WOW

Beautiful! Really fantastic.

On the one hand, I am stunned by the beauty of this picture. On the other hand, I am very unhappy that you have provided no information about how you managed to capture this image. I want very much to learn and merely looking at great pictures is not sufficient.

frozen beauty.

Absolutely great

Some of the best I've ever seen

Excellent!

WOW Veson, what a beautiful capture. Your were at the right place at the right time, and your knowing your camera is quite obvious. Absolutely wonderful Veson.

This image has been selected for discussion. It is not necessarily the "best" picture the Elves have seen this week, nor is it a contest. It is simply an image that the Elves found interesting and worthy of discussion. Discussion of photo.net policy, including the choice of Photograph of the Week should not take place here, but in the Site Feedback forum.

Before writing a contribution to this thread, please consider our reason for having this forum. We have this forum because future visitors might be interested in learning more about the pictures. They browsed the gallery, found a few striking images and want to know things like why is it a good picture, why does it work? Or, indeed, why doesn't it work, or how could it be improved?

So, when contributing to this thread, please keep the above in mind. Address the strengths, the shortcomings of the image. It's not good enough to like it, you should spend some time trying to put into words why that is the case. Equally so if you don't like it, or if you can't quite make up your mind.

Let's make sure this forum is a wonderful learning resource for future photographers!

Thank you and enjoy!

I saw this picture and thought to myself: This is what happens when competence at its highest level is able to extract the most from ones gear. Equally remarkable is the versatility of the author - his personal site is worth visiting.

Holy moly. What are the chances of getting this? And you got it, PLUS you get all the technical perfect. Color, speed, everything. Truly a wonderful image.

This is fantastic, Vezon! How about some technical stuff on your equipment and settings?

absolutely gorgeous and real eye candy. Was fill flash used to light up the front of the bird's face? Where was the sun for this shot? It seems the face and back are equally light well by the sun. I am curious. Was there any manipulation digital or conventional? It seems at Photo.net it is not about the mysterious but to share what we have learned.

Manipulated or in the perfect place at the perfect time this shot is fabulous!!!!!!!

One of the best photo I had seen in my photographic life.

Simply extraordinary.Greay colours,clear, composition. The perfect moment in the exactly place. Just a question ... The photo is with digital camera, if not, the captured bird was worked with speed film, what about ?� Maybe with a little storie about the photo we should know more about the technics. Congratulations because of this beatiful postal.

I would not even know how to begin to make a photograph like this one. I don't know how to shoot wildlife, but I recognize talent and outstanding work when I see it, and this shot has both. I feel like a parrot...echoing the same thing everyone else says!

 

I think this is the best Photograph of the Week that the elves have chosen in a long long time.

 

Highest compliments!!

This week, we'll be reading about all the viewers who don't seem to be able to fathom how this shot was made. It's not luck! It's hard work, research, patience, having the right equipment, and knowing how to use it. You get out of it what you put into it.

 

Well done.

Great photograph,just wondering what type of set up was used in the capture,eg.lens camera ect.
