Hi Frank, this KF has given you a nice angled pose showing off his catch. Colours look spot on, on this fellow, and I like how the fish is curled against the darker BG. Ive seen Pied Kingfishers swallow what seemed like oversized fish to me, and no doubt this meal went down with no problem. :w3 Maybe a bit more space below to allow for a slightly larger space on the small branch facing to the bottom of the frame.

Fantastic image Frank. The eye contact on the fish and bird is awesome. Lovely colours and BG.

Beautiful shot nice timing super colours. I note the feet are in focus too - not always easy!

[Mike Poole]

Great detail on these fantastic birds. The position of the fish finishes the shot off beautifully

Cracker Frank, love the dark background really suit's the Kingfishers bold colours and to get fish as well, bonus.

Great timing on this one, Frank. Love how you can see the fishes eye and how it's battling. Perfect techs, angle on of the bird and awesome BG.
