Hi Guys,
I have moved my hide a bit closer to the perches i had set up for my local Kingfisher-project and today i went out to test if they would allow me to get a bit closer.
Here's one of the shots i took and really liked because of the weird pose this Kingfisher made when he spotted a large hawk flying by...
Greetings,

Buzzard or something overhead Jeroen..? Another great King image and I think the pose is superb - nice one

Great comp via the perch, with a great pose.

Hi Jeroen,
I really like your composition with the diagonally running perch and the lovely clean background but I'm wondering whether there is some more sharpness to be squeezed out of this.

Interesting pose, never seen it before.
Feathers look a little fuzzy on my monitor, more sharpning perhaps?
