For me, the best in your "The" series. Excellent in all respects. Can hardly wait for the next installments.

Another great action shot of this Kingfisher, David. Super detail and that great lighting really brings out the colors in that sunfish. Awesome.

If anything, this is better than the last post, Dave. You really got some great images from this session. No nits at all from me.

Excellent capture; it's hard to get this close to a Belted Kingfisher, and to get one tossing the fish down is amazing. Very nicely done.

I would agree with Jerry on this one. This is a also my favorite of the series. The detail is the best and the background really makes the image pop.

Sweet image David, he's giving you some great eye contact while holding his prize, the water droplets add as well. devil
