Hi Paul, great shot of the kingfisher. I've never seen one of these guys, for real or in photo. The colour is amazing. You've composed it well with good detail, especially on the feathers and eye (you got the catch light).

Thanks, John

Hi Paul

This is a terrific shot! What a beautiful capture!
The details on this impressive kingfisher are simply outstanding and the colors are lovely.
I really like the POV and the composition here a lot!
Very good DOF that blurres the BG nicely and also an excellent exposure management.
I do think the contrast is just a little low here, so i added a WS...hope you don't mind :)

Anyway, Bravo for this charming catch and TFS

Hi Paul,

Very nice pose and good shot. Difficult exposure with the shade and bright sunlight, but well handled. Well done.
