Bee-Eater

[Mrudul Godbole]

Had photograpghed this early last year near bangalore. One of my first photos with the 100-400mm lens.

Canon 350D, 100-400mm L IS USM, ISO 100, f5.6

Comments and critiques welcome..

Lovely shot. Only wish the OOF stick wasn't there. Also there are some slightly distracting white patches near the bottom, which I expect can be cloned out. The bird has come out very nice and sharp. The position of the wings also looks interesting. Compo also is good.

Thanks Abhishek. I too would have preferred the stick to be not there.

Cute bird, and nice perch.

Mrudul, the dark eye-stripe of the bee-eater is always something to watch out for.

Nice image mrudul... wish the criss crossing bamboo were absent

Apana, I've seen you mention countless times that the stripe is something to watch out for. I don't quite understand why.:confused:
Can you explain?

Nice shot. Perfect perch and lovely sharp image.
Do mention crop % if possible.
