Hi Lee,

A warm welcome to TN with such a beautiful image of this wonderful bird.
Excellent composition, exposure and sharpness.
Just love the color contrast between the red upper side of the bill and the green color tones in the background.
Very well done and I hope to see more such beautiful uploads from you in the near future.
Thanks for sharing!!!

I have posted a workshop and have made my comments there.

Lee,

A very detailed and well composed pic of the Woodland Kingfisher. I like Kingfishers and did post one of a Malachite on TN in the past. The BG that is Out of Focus adds to the quality of the subject.

Hello Lee

The colours are vivid and well saturated.
