Hi Jeroen,

Another lovely image from your series. I would lighten it by about 1/4 stop though unless it is my monitor.

Great pose Jeroen, I'm not convinced the colour is right... the perch seems to have a bit of a blue cast to it, which probably isn't helping my judgement... certainly a dynamic image and thank you for sharing

Lovely and different kingfisher image but agree with Phil that the blue branch looks strange :toast:

An interesting pose but different.
I do find the colours of the bird slightly odd. :toast:

Definately a different pose Jeroen, and colour cast aside, a well timed moment with good sharpness for the moderate shutter speed used :toast:
