Nice rare image .It appears to me as Blue-tailed Bee-eater(Merops phillipinus).Might have been photographed in the winter.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

cutie! Nice one with a prey. I agree with the composition. The background is nicely diffused. Image is sharp even at a relatively slower shutter speed. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Lovely image Mrudul. The bee eater with a bee/wasp looks very nice. The colours have come out well. The bg is also nice. Overall a very nice image. What was the focal length ? Thanks for sharing.

[Mrudul Godbole]

Murugan, this is a full frame image so it is 400mm i.e 560 with 1.6 crop.

Thanks all for the comments.

I agree. I had just changed the copyright mark and after converting the image I realised it is a bit too big for my taste. I will edit it again in Lightroom.

Thanks all for comments.
