[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A Lilacbreasted Roller trying to swallow a large (dung?) beetle. This picture took a bit of knowledge of LBR behaviour, 10 minutes of observation and anticipation and a bit of luck to push the button at the right moment.

Hello Daniel.
Details are fabulous, composion-wise, it is near perfect, and the moment is terrific. The pose is so typical, but what makes it stand out is the capture of the insect.Best regards Siggi

Hallo Daniel,
De scherpte in deze foto laat nog iets te wensen over, maar de scene is fantastisch. Een van mijn favoriete Afrikaanse vogels in prachtig zonlicht en dan spelend met zijn vangst. Uitstekende compositie en een mooie vage achtergrond.
Groet,
Peter

Hi Daniel
most impressive capture at the very best moment, obviously not a bit of luck but well prepared and some patience did it.
So great an image that it deserved a bit of sharpening (workshop) as I guess that the original was perfectly sharp and this was lost partly due to downsizing
Thanks for sharing

Bonjour Daniel,
Très belle scène de la vie sauvage saisie à l'instant décisif avec une bonne coordiantion de la vitesse et de la profondeur de champ.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.

Well done, this is my "Photo of the Day" choice. I have often photographed these beautiful birds, you have managed toe get perfect sharpness, true colors and some action trown in as well

Hi Daniel,
That is a CAPTURE ! Outstanding details and such a nice light ! TFS Tina

Daniel,

Excellent action pic. I like the detail and sharpness shown as its difficult in an action pic. The lighting, composition and BG are also well done.
TFS,
