It was sunset time and this Green Bee Eater flew in the direction of setting sun.

Hi Srinivasan, I like your idea.

Not sure that the white line on the left adds anything to the image, and would like to see the Green Bee Eater on the left flying into the image.

Hope you are able to catch more of these.

Cheers,

Carol

I see where you're going here Srinivasan.
I like the way the bird is highlighted, looks great.
Would be better if you removed the single branch left, and the bird had a bit more space to fly into..
Best wishes for a happy Holidays

Thanks for the comments. This is a full frame and unfortunately I have no more space on the right! On the suggestion of the branch on the left, I retained to show the place from which it took off. Will try removing and see whether I am happy!
May be the image says 2010 is just going out of Frame!
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for 2011
Cheers

This is a really intriguing shot. I really admire your ability to envision and execute a photo like this. But I agree with the others that the bird is just a bit too far from the branch to be visually linked.
