kingfisher

This male is sitting at my pond. Lucky me

Edwin Kats

Yeah lucky you

Great shot of him, but im not that keen on the perch.

But seeing its at your pond you could add another better looking perch for him, if thats possible ?

Hi Edwin

Very nice - just a tad dark for my taste but that is easily adjusted if you agreed!

David

Great pose and wonderful background. I agree with David that it would be better a bit lighter.

Hi Edwin

Agree with the above comments re pose, but to me the whole image has been stripped into a background, as the lines especially around the chest are to clean. Am I correct? A bird I still which to get an image of!

Hi Ed,

I really like this pretty Kingfisher! Hope to see much more of this one and it's girlfriend wich regularly visit your pond!
Well done!

Thanks everyone. Yes, maybe a bit lighter does the trick.
Steve: This image comes straight out of the camera.. The only thing that has been done are contrast, saturation and sharpening.

Thanks,
Edwin Kats

Good looking image Edwin. I would be pleased with it.
Just a slight pity about that snapped off perch but only minor.

Major.

Lovely pose but agree about the perch and need for a touch of lightening. Relative to the BG it looks perfect to me

Great shot, just a bit dark - should be awesome when the light is right.

Yep.

Bit dark on the breast and background for my taste Edwin.

Regards
