Hi Goutham,

Fabulous shot of the bee-eater, the composition is excellent and clean, the pose is just superb with the insect in the beak, super sharp detail and wonderful colours and a warm light.

Hi Goutham,
you also have a dragonfly shot here today - but a little different ;-) Wow - what a moment - this bird is so impressive - and with the dragon in the mouth, it's a fantastic moment, I love it. So excellent sharpness and those colours, thanks and greetings

This is a wonderful image Goutham. I bet you are pleased with it. I love the simplicity of the shot, the wonderful color, and the added interest of the insect. Super work. Exposure, sharpness and shallow depth of focus are excellent.

Hi Goutham

Lovely snap! The colours are just fantastic as is the minimalist composition. I really like the POV as well. Razor sharp and the blurred background only enhances the shot. Great lighting too, not harsh at all.

TFS and well done!

A fantastic shot, Goutham.
This POV is awesome, showing the incredible colors on the back of this beautiful bird.
You managed to catch the iridescence on the plumage, and tack-sharp details.
Even the wings of the poor dragonfly in the beak are crystal clear.
Excellent work, my friend.

Hi Goutham

Another breathtaking capture from you!
The details here are simply amazing and i'm just speachless when i see what you are able to pull out of that rather small zoom lens.
The composition here is impeccable and the colors and textures on this splendid blue tailed bee-eater's plumage are fascinating! The blurred BG makes the subject stand out superbly and the lighting and exposure are great, too.
...what am i saying here...everything is just outstanding!!!

BRAVO and TFS

Another truly classic shot.
