The whole picture

Yesterday I posted the severely cropped version, which can be seen here


The goose was walking on the embankment of the dam and the bee eater flitted around and finally landed on this old dead branch.


My 300mm lens is just not long enough and I am so happy to have Topaz Gigapixel.

Although this original is good too!!

I'm loving the deadwood. It looks like a dinosaur coming in to attack with his trusty Bee eater on head.

[Mags]

A wonderful capture!
