Goos capture of the Kingfisher Paul. Very good details and colours. Well shown...

Attractive colours and great pose. What a shame you missed all the bill.

I also shot some kingfishers today. This is a very nice specimen. Pity about the beak behind the branch though. The photo has some noise in the BG. Maybe from using ISO 400 or 800. I did a WS with noiseware to try and remove it. Noiseware or neatimage can be downloaded for free from the internet. Tell me what you think.

Another great shot :) How do you manage to get so close to them? Good colours and composition Paul :)
