Nice shot Jeroen, it really is kingfisher-tastic on here at the moment. Yes it is a word!! I'd be tempted to crop a little off the bottom and lhs so that the deadwood, quite literally, is removed and all that's left is mossy greenness!! Also a word, look it up!

Very pleasing image Jeroen, I really like the perch.
It looks a little over saturated on my equipment at the moment, but that is probably my fault I upgraded the video driver yesterday and haven't re-calibrated yet.

Another good one. !
My only minor nit would be a slightly dominant perch but no big deal.

A gorgeous shot, but personally I would like to see just a little more space on the right of the image.

Another beauty! Colours are great. I agree it could do with a bit more space if possible.

Hi Guys,
Thanks fro the comments so far. Would have wished for a bit more space all around but this is full frame...
That's what you get when working to close with a 600mm...
