Sweet image,Martin. they really pop from the dull background, and it's nice that you managed to get a catchlight in both eyes.

Beautiful little birds, and you captured both of them so well, Martin. They are very colorful, and really stand out against the oof dark background. Well done.

Excellent job in getting both birds and their perch in perfect focus, especially at F5 .6. I am really enjoying the color, detail, and the pose of both Bee Eaters.
