Green Bee Eater near Mumbai!!!!

I took some time off this weekend and went to my cousin's farm house near mumbai. There are a lot of fields and open lands so didnt want to miss an opportunity to photograph some birds. Saw a lot of bee eaters but the light was really harsh. Made this image at 10 am. Cropped for composition.

Nikon D7000,f/5.6,SS 1/1000,ISO 250,300mm. ec +.3

Nice. Eye contact and eye-stripe exposure are aspects that frequently ruin a bee-eater image. You have done well here in those respects. Only wish you got there earlier :).

Great image quality..........

Nice details of texture and colours captured inspite of harsh light conditions.Thanks for sharing

Lovely off centered compo and like Abhishek pointed out, beautiful exposure of the black streaks. Lovely eye contact and details.

Thanks for sharing
