Texas Belted Kingfisher

There have been quite a few Kingfisher posts lately, so I thought I would jump in. Mine doesn't quite measure up to some of the recent posts, but it is the best one I have managed to date. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2015.5) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

NEver an easy bird to approach. I love the stretched body and raised crest. Nice work on the whites.

Excellent, Jerry. A great pose and the intervening twigs don't bother me particularly.
