Belted Kingfisher moments after taking off from its perch at Santee Lakes, California. Guassian blur was applied to background. Thanks for looking! Please left-click for 1100px version.

Very sharp man, if instead of a Gaussian blur you could have used a motion blur with a 0 angle might have given a more dynamic take. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful topside view which reveals sweet detail, Mike. Love the lighting and the flight angle. Well done.
