What a wing spread and what a look with that eye contact, amazing shot IMO. Wonderful timing and excellent details.

All the best and just gorgeous.

Love the comical stare....lol...did you place a fish on your head ?

Very nice, sharp and wonderful light showing through the wide spread wings, great symmetry, just lovely all round

[Sarah Jessup]

The lighting is wonderful, as is the head tilt and eye contact. One of the most striking shots I've ever seen from this angle.

Very unusual KF image, and the slightly open bill adds to the quirly look of this individual! Perfect wingspread. I only wish the face was more evenly lit, especially for both eyes. Pretty cool!

I have captured many Pied kingfisher images, but never ever at this angle. Love the inquisitive look with the tilted head, and perfect wingspread. Good backlighting effect through the wings too.

Hadi,

This is truly remarkable, great capture of a very unusual pose.

Dear Hadi,
I like perfect wingspread & nice open neck. I can see something like PP signs in the upper left of the frame.
