Gorgeous shot of this beauty. Perfect pose, and he stands out nicely against the dark background. I could imagine a version with some taken off the bottom, or with him lower in the frame. But perhaps you have purposely given him some room to dive into.

Yes, that was exactly my thought when composing this one :)

I like the composition. The darker frame really highlights the beautiful bird. Nicely done as always.

Lovely pre-strike pose and such gorgeous, rich colours on this beauty as it pops so beautifully from the dark setting.

Beautifully captured EJ; light, b/g and composition all come together for a perfect setting for this great looking Kingfisher - now if he only had a fish in his mouth!
