Hi Rajan,

A typical bee-eater image but a very difficult bird to expose for because of the black eye-stripe. There seems to be a loss of IQ here, either because of a crop or because of distance.

Hi Rajan,

Liked the composition and the insect is a big bonus. A bit less space at the bottom would have added to the image. Agree with Apana about the image quality.Is it a crop?

Look forward to more..

Actually very little crop, to avoid another branch on the top left, maybe the distance. . .

Rajan,
There is a sharpness issue here. Please check whether you uploaded a file bigger than 200kb or the longest side larger than 800 pixels. That software reduces the size and image quality suffers.

You can also check the focus point by opening this image in zoombrowser.

Cheers,
