Very nice Hans. The fish puts this one over the top.

Absolutely perfect. The only wish fulfillment I would have is to see the fish's eyeball.sad Everything else—the detail, the color, the perch, the eye contact, the background—really well done!devil

Nailed it that time, Hans, even to a perch that stays in the focal plane.

Very nice catch for both you and the Kingfisher Hans. Techs look very nice and I like the placement in the frame. Great job!

Kingfishers are such striking birds and I have always wished for an opportunity to get a photo of one.  This is a perfect example of the nearly ideal capture, Hans!  Underexposing was a good choice as it kept the highlights under control (for the most part, anyway). The fish makes it even more special!   The large version is a must see as it brings out so much more of the fine details in this image.  Very well done! devil
