Hi Guys,

Hope i am not boring you with yet another Kingfisher shot but i have had very little time to go out and shoot recently and so i went to the Kingfishers at the nature reserve behind my home to shoot some more shots of these beauties.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Very nice shot Jeroen

Great detail on the subject, with a great BG

Lovely shot, Jeroen. Perhaps a touch too much perch?

A bird with attitude - nice work! I agree with Elliot about there being a little too much perch, and for printing, I'm sure you would crop this. But for viewing on-line, I very much appreciate the opportunity to view the un-cropped image.

Nice... agreed perhaps a little too much perch which is maybe not the most attractive, but great pose makes the image...
