hello Paul, you have captured this two kingfisher at the right moment, very good shot. I like especially the "splashing one"

Paul, this is a brilliant action capture.
My, you have got that spray scattered by the male into a symmetrical shape around the birds!
The effect is stunning.
Overall, a wonderful picture, though slightly over-exposed, in which the birds stand out beautifully against a plain green BG.
TFS and regards.

Bonjour Paul,

Belle photo de ces deux martin-pecheurs en visite à Panic Lake. Il m'est arrivé d'en voir trois d'un seul coup à cet endroit où Il y a toujours quelque-chose à voir si l'on sait patienter.
Félicitations pour avoir saisi le bon moment
Nyala

Paul,

Looks like lake panic is paying off dividends again! The composition, BG, DOF, POV and sharpness are all great.
TFS,
Sheriff
