Green Bee Eater near Mumbai!!!!

[Murugan Anantharaman]

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 .

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

Thanks for sharing
