Hi Sebnem

This is another wonderful capture from you!
Just like in your previous post, the pose of the subject is really terrific nad this time this fluffed-up kingfisher look great!
The details and colors are wonderful, the BG is nicely isolated from the subject and the composition is lovely, with plenty of room in the direction of the bird sight.

Bravo and TFS

Merhaba Sebnem,
Beautiful capture of this young kingfisher!
I like so much the POV and the way it makes seems their beak so large in proportion with the rest of the body.
Nice the colors and patterns got on their plumage.
You did a very good composition with the bird and the surroundng elements.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.

I can see that the wind has ruffled the feathers of this kingfisher, Sebnem.
The cute little thing is just sitting on the rock, seemingly undecided about what to do next :-).
As usual, another unusual picture from the very versatile Sebnem!
You are looking somewhat down from your point of view while taking this shot, so this is kind of new perspective in shooting a bird -- different from the normal 'bird-on-a-branch' type.
Great shot!
Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Sebnem

A lovely capture of this wind-blown little kingfisher. A penny for its thoughts though. Maybe he was contemplating the possibility of joining you inside the protective environment of your vehicle to be able to escape the wind and the elements.

The composition is splendid with the bird sitting snugly on the 1/3 vertical axis. The OOF bright BG does well to enhance the darker subject and make it stand out well. The colours are rich and the details are well captured and defined. This was a challenging exposure with the white rocks and the darker bird, but I think you succeeded admirably in balancing the lighting.

Well done and TFS.

Loot

Hi Sebnem, this shot of yours reminded me of one I got just yesterday of a Kookaburra (which is just a large Kingfisher). Mine went swimming which I had never seen before, and after he had this same ruffled look as yours. I like your composition, you have him sitting there, almost looks like he's shivering, and you've kept the water in sight. The shot is sharp with excellent colour and detail. Your notes are excellent as always, and I appreciate the inclusion of your exif data.

Thanks, John

Hi Sebnem.
Nothing else to add... except for my deep love for birds, so I'm mad about this beautiful fluffy kingfisher! You have a really impressive gallery and this makes very difficult to chose...but why chosing if we can have a look to all them!
I see you usually work with the 500 mm... Easy to use,light? And advise? I'd like to buy a telezoom for bird "hunting" but not easy to choose... Marta
