Kingfisher

Hello friends,
this is from last winter. A friend led me to a place where he was feeding kingfishers. Very close to the feeding place he build up a hide. So we waited about half an hour than this beautiful little girl appeared. She cought some fish and we could not stop shooting. Finally we even opened the curtain of the hide window. She did not bother at all about the two big glasses.

Canon 20D+EF100-400+Tripod RSE and PSCS.
C and C always welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Nice shot Bertl , a little large in the frame for my tastes and maybe a tad over sharp , lovely BG though.

Andy...

A bit tight for me also Bertl, but superb detail

Nicely done!

Hi Berti

Lovely portrait with great detail-a little big but what the hell

Dave

Nice colours and sharpness. A bit odd angle as if looking down at the bird ?

Berti

I like it a great shot full of detail. A stunning bird.

beautiful colours and sharpness, but for me a little too tight in the frame - maybe you can add some canvas as the background is tidy?

cheers

Colin

All been said ,but certainly a nice and detailed shot.

A beautifully detailed image, with scintillating colouring. The tighter the better as far as I'm concerned, it's the subject that counts IMHO.

Awesome detail with the feathers

Looks ok to me in the frame

Lovely detailed shot Berti.
I dont mind the size but for me its missing a highlight. If this were available it would be an even better image.

Cracking feather detail, and clearly an awesome experience.

Mark

Lovely shot with loads of detail!
The twig is a tad "hot" but that's nitpicking a wonderful Kingfisher shot.

Excellent shot. Yep, big in the frame, but what amazing detail in the feathers! Like that cool brown BG and the contrast with the white perch.

Looks wonderful to me Bertl.
