Blimey, this is simply gorgeous Jeroen. I love how the background colour is in perfect harmony with the blues of the Kingfisher. :toast: :toast: :toast:

Another boring old Kingfisher!!

I'd cut my left arm off (shutter finger's the right hand!) to have this type of shot Jeroen. Superb :toast:

Hi Guys,

Have been working a bit on this image and thought it deserved a repost, so here's the adjusted version.
Curious what you think is better...
