Bonjour Laurent, elle est belle cette photo de martin pêcheur, ya effectivement un petit manque de netteté, surtout sur la queue de l'oiseau. Mais belles couleurs, très belle pose de l'oiseau sur la branche sur un beau fond neutre. J'aimerais bien faire de si belles photos de martin pêcheur! Merci et félicitation pour la 300e!

Hi laurent. A good close up of a bird i have not yet got . you have a nice typical pose with good colours and a nice POV/DOF. fine detail just a little soft . well done TFS.
Nick..

Laurent are you sure a 1.4 convertor will work with your lens.

Bonjour Laurent,
Congratulations on your 300th!
Excellent capture of the Common Kingfisher in a good pose, from a fine POV and with pretty good sharpness and a superb composition on the branch.
Bravo!

Hello Laurent,

Congratulations on reaching 300. In my opinion it good be better (sharpeness and it was better to take this bird in front) But mostly you don't get the opportunity. I like your close up very much. The beautiful colours, they are magnificent. The POV and BG are oké. Regards and TFS BOB

Bonsoir Lolo,
300 photos déjà, tu seras vite un vétéran de TN .... lolll
Bravo pour ce Martin pecheur, ils sont difficile à capturer, la seule et unique phot que j'ai pu faire était à 30 mètres, je ne peux qu'admirer ces jolis détails et ces très belles couleurs, l'image est parfaitement composée avec l'oeuil de l'oiseau pil poil au tiers de la photo,
great shot mister Crouzier

Wow! Stunning image!
How did you get so close?!
+++ Very good pose showing this beautiful Kingfisher searching intently for a fish. Great composition and POV.
I love the colours and soft lighting.
Very effective shallow DOF that blurs the BG nicely... causing the bird to stand out.
Great sharpness and clarity.
--- Nothing :)
Very well done Laurent.
Thanks,

Bonjour Laurent,
Félicitations pour la 300ème photo. Ton choix est bon, le martin-pêcheur est un oiseau très photogénique et en général très apprécié sur TN. J'aime bien la composition de ton image, l'attitude de l'oiseau et le très bel arrière-plan. La netteté me semble un peu juste, mais ne me gêne point.Alors tu est raparti pour quelques 100 autres images..
Bonne journée
Anne

Salut Laurent,
Premièrement, félicitations pour cette 300ième photo! J'ai vu cet oiseau seulement une fois dans ma vie et il était beaucoup trop loin pour le prendre en photo. C'est une très belle composition avec de bonnes couleurs. Pour être honnête, je trouve la plupart de tes photos plus détaillée que celle-ci mais j'imagine que tu as dû la recadrer pas mal, ce qui a probalement atténué les détails (à moins que je ne me trompe). Ça demeure tout de même une belle réussite! :) `

Hallo Laurent
Since my first posting on Trek Nature was that of a kingfisher, my eyes tend to search for them first to critique of all the beautiful bird photos been placed on the gallery daily. I in actual fact like the sapphire blue stripe of feathers in the middle of this birds back. A lovely close up, well presented and worth a smiley. In comparison to mine this kingfisher is much smaller than mine, and actually looks quite fragile. Its bill is almost larger than the bird. Thanks for sharing. It was lovely to look at.
Kind regards
Anna
