[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
White-throated Kingfisher.
Another shot of the King from my archives. A combination of sunlit backlighting and flash fill-in. Not sure about the overly bright tail but I quite like the rimmed light around the bird and the huge beak and the fish's face.

Technical note :-
300mm @ 1/100 f7.1 with SB-600 iTTL flash fill -1EV, ISO-200, full frame image, RAW-JPG.
