Kingfisher
I have just spent the past ten days working with this beautiful bird at a good friends site. Its a shame I can't mention him but rules are rules but he is one of the nicest blokes I have met in this game. Anyway this is a simple shot of a nice Male perched on a reedmace.

Canon 1D MK4, 500mm lens, F4, ISO 200

Hey Dan

A very good image, good composition, exposure, bg everything. Does it excite you? No. Do you think you could do a lot better? Yes. I'll look forward to seeing what you produce as you attempt to raise the bar!

Someone who is in fact substantially taller than yow!
