David,

Nice shot! I too am just starting to take bird pictures and I too have used my truck as a blind. One day i put out some seeds and sat in the car in the front yard - i live in the country - and just waited for the birds to come to me.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

Dean

Hi David

A wonderful capture here with this cure kingfisher!
The pose here on that streight stick is great and you captured it nicly. The colors are also lovely and well saturated, the details nice and sharp and the lighting great.
I also like the DOF you chose here, isolating the subject rather well from the BG.
The composition is really wonderful and i liked how you left plenty of space in the direction the bird is looking.
Very well done!

Bravo and TFS

Hello David,
This is a very nice capture. I'm glad that you are now trying bird’s pictures. Your note is very interesting but I must say that I never used these kinds of tricks but it is useful to know. I like this POV, composition and great colors. I don't know if there was a branch near its legs but it seems a little strange. Anyway this is a very good first try and I'm looking for many others ;) This BG is very nice; well done! Thanks,
Claudine

Hello David,
This is great as for a first one! The bird was posing you really nicely. I like the POV and framing too. The details are good and colours look nice too. The BG is a little bit busy and maybe it would be worth to blur it stronger next time using f5.6 for example.
Overall, you did really good job on this one!

Hello David

Great shot with super calrity.Good POV and DOF.I got a kick out of your notes,so many birds are the same way here,I can drive right up to them but if I get out they fly away.Very good detail and sharpness with excellent lighting and colours.TFS
