very nice male kingfisher,and nice perch (you often see this beautifull bird photograph on poor perch) For me the bird is a bit to much to the right of the picture.Still it is a very nice picture.
Have a great day

Ah - the Wrens perching stump Paul :wink:

Looks nice and sharp, but a tad 'flat' and lacking in contrast - some changes to your PS workflow should sort that out for you mate :wink:

That rogue ivy stem "poking the bird in the bum" looks a bit odd too - quick clone job there Paul :wink:

If you can, post me the RAW file, and give me a call in the evening - we'll go thru your workflow :biggrin:

Hi Paul,

Nice capture!

Very nice Paul. First thought was that it could do with a tad more contrast but, on reflection, I rather like the muted (well as muted as a KF can get) colours against that background

Hi Paul

Great image, nits minor and covered. I just wish Andy hadn't pointed out the ivy stem - some of us are just too easily shocked :biggrin:
