One from earlier today from a new Kingfisher site I found with the help of a friend. The light varied greatly during the day and when this was taken the Kingfisher was in full sun with the background in heavy shade.
PP in LR3, WB and medium contrast tone curve only. Full frame.
Nikon D3X with Nikon 600mm Lens. ISO 400, 1/1250 at f8.
I like the simplicity of the perch and the light/dark effect. I also like how you can just make out the tail in the shadow.
If it was mine, I'd compose the bird a bit lower in the frame, perhaps the extreme bottom left hand corner (I like odd comps) I'm sure you've covered that and some landscape shots too.

Nice capture but looks a tad soft to me.

Thanks for looking.

great shot full of detail and excellent background
A bit too high in the frame for me as well
