Beautiful 'Angel' pose Bruno, and the back lighting is spectacular! Wonderful image.

I have done a few Bee-eaters in the last few years and I know shots like this are not easy to get. The angel-pose bird is in exactly the right place and the sitting bird adds to the story-line. Can you selectively darken the tail a little?

Cheers

Bruno this is a stunning and captivating image. The backlight is a little bright on the tail but very effective on the wings. You are so lucky to have this wonderful interaction right in your backyard!

Spectacular! The light coming through the wings is perfect. What a great opportunity to have these in your yard. Congrats on the EP.
