These two Carmine Bee-eaters perched nicely in a dead tree on the bank of the Chobe River in Botswana, where I photographed last month. Canon EOS 7D Mark II, Canon EF500mm f/4L IS II USM, AV exposure f/10 at 1/320th, ISO 320.

Looks like a fine lithograph. Nicely done.

The stark white background makes this image worthy of being an illustration in a bird book. Beautiful colors and good detail. Awesome image!

Chuck: the bee eaters are beautifully presented against the background. The colors and detail are very appealing. Richard
