Hi Craig

Wonderful colours and the 'midges' make it that bit different - I like it!

Wonderful KF shot Craig.
The BG color is a bit too strong for me.
Just a personal taste.

very nice, would consider cropping off the bottom half of the perch.

Great shot. But kingfishers always gives great shots (seeing everything that is posted on this forum). Nice color composition.

Very nice Craig, maybe slightly further right in the frame as its a tad central, but I love the way you've included that mossy perch, and the midges add to lifting the image away from the usual. Good one

A tad central but otherwise really works well Craig and the midges adds something different. Good work.
