I just can't resist kingfishers and this is no exception.
Great composition, beautiful clear image, great colours and DOF.
I am going to add this to my favourites.
Well captured!

If you bring back more shots of this standard I will forgive you for taking leave from the site. :)

It's a lovely critter and perfectly executed. Well done. Enjoy the vacation.

Clearly your best kingfisher pic so far. Composition and POV are excellent. You have done really well.
Hope you get some goodies in Singapore.

This bird (Halcyon smrynensis) took his name from Smyrna (İzmir), İzmir is the most north and west point for this species. I could only see this species one time and couldn't take a photo. A wonderful capture, thanks for sharing.

great shot rathika...
but I feel the noises...
you need "neat image" to clean them...
wonderful pose with beautiful colors...
I love it :))

Rathika,
I have to admit that I never realised that kingfishers have such vibrant colours (shouldn't admit that really, especially not on this site...) Well, this image of yours is absolutely stunning, perfectly executed and goes swiftly to my favourites.
WELL DONE!!

Shelly.
