Hello Jon,
What a beauty this is!!! I like your composition and the colours and details are most impressive. I expect you used flash to bring out the bright blue so well.
Many thanks, Ulla

Hi Jon, wow, this guy is very bright. Awesome looking bird, I've never seen a Forest Kingfisher, so thanks for the introduction. Composition with him posing on this slanted branch in your crop is good; you can see yourself in that eye.

Thanks, John

Hi Jon,
I would be much impressed to be able to photograph this superb bird from so close. We have similar specie here but I had the chance to see him only once in a national park and he was very far from me. I like the brilliance, catch light in his eye and beautiful colors you captured, great compo and exposure. He is a beauty!

Hi Jon,

I was away and missed this beautiful Kingfisher. I don't think I have seen one like this before. I would have remembered that amazing royal blue! Wonderful colors and sharp details of the face and plummage. I love that eye! Great pose on the diagonal branch and a nice composition.
