Beautiful Bee Eater. Lovely colors. A shame about that OOF twig in front, but the detail in the face and eye more than make up for it. Well done.

I really like the color, detail and the pose in this. The oof twig in front doesn't really bother me since the head is tack sharp, but I am a tiny bit distracted by the two bright twigs in the BG since they intersect with the head.
