Collared Kingfisher

Photo of a Collared Kingfisher. Not much for a background or an environment shot. Tried to keep the wire to a minimum. Common Kingfisher seen in Malaysia. Photo was cropped in Adobe photoshop. Photo taken in February 2014.

Hello John

Clear, crisp details , excellent. would prefer more room on left side if you had it. Would have thought a Vine not a wire.:)

Very nice, John. Cool to see the eye pupil in a Kingfisher. I'd have believed it was a vine, too.

A heavier bill than I would have expected on a Kingfisher. Almost Kookaburra like. Nice detail. You did well with the lighting you had to work with.
