Kingfisher part 2
This is the same bird as my earlier post. He considerately turned around on his perch to give this reverse view. I think this probably works better than the first as there is less white water and the birds eye line takes you into the darker background. Which do others prefer.

I prefer this shot, it's better compositionally.

Another beauty Robert , agree with Paul re the comp , also a little tight at the bottom by the tail but thats just me being picky , good work.

Comp looks better, I agree, but the orange breasts do look good - just tend to see a lot of blue backs with these guys :smile:

Nice image of a great subject but just a bit tight all round for me. I like to see a bit of space around the birds but that is just my opinion.

Brett. :cool:
