Ahh, this is nice and natural! I would love to get a chance with Kingfishers like this one day

Wonderfull shot Philllip but i think it would have been nice if the bird was slightly more off center. In this case to the right of the frame.

Beautiful-may be a tad off the right-would be happy with this on my files

Hi thanks for the comments I thought it was missing that something, anyway I've added a little canvas to the left-hand side and the top.

Absolutely first class. Just wish it was one of mine.

Repost is an improvement over original, Phillip. I like how well the head turned to the left and it's long bill suits horizontal format.

Cheers,
Marko
