Green Bee Eater/Coorg

[Praveen Siddannavar]

From the last weekend trip to Coorg, shot this in the coffee estate. It was nice to sight so many birds in the coffee estate that was located on the bank of Harangi backwaters.

Good sharp image.I think space in the front would have been good as it is a cropped image.Yellow patch in the BG is bit distracting.TFS

Nice details, Praveen! I agree about having more space in front. Wish light was better too. It seem to be sitting on only one leg - that's skill considering the angle at which it is perching :)

super sharp picture praveen. that bright green patch at bottom is a distraction.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

I agree with the previous comments. The bright patch at the bottom brings our attention there. It would have been interesting if the bright patch could have been just behind the head like a halo, like God having halo behind his head. :D

Cheers,

The vertical composition looks good. The perch and the eye contact is nice. Thanks for sharing.

I like the vertical composition. Wish the light on the head would have illuminated the eye as well. Agree that the green patch at the bottom is distracting. Thanks for sharing.
