common king fisher - female

I took this shot with canon 600mm f/4 , I like this lovely girl very much for the pose, color saturation of her feather & lighting (should be better if the girl is coming early 5 minute, the lighting situation will be better. thx for looking & comment

Beautiful subject - great pose - and nice light. The bird is too centered in the frame, and taking a bit off the right and bottom will give you a better composition. I would darken the light area of the BG in front of the bill; the lighter streaks behind the bird look fine. It would be helpful if you would give us complete technical information with your posts. Lovely image,.

Ha! Linda read my mind!! I was actually working on this repost when she typed exactly what I was thinking. Here is the repost: I've uncentred your bird (but retained the cool green streaks), removed the front green splotch, and lightened the back of the head which was cast in shadow because of the light's direction.

Overall a very nice photo Patrick!:)

Great capture and I love the pose and perch in this image. The repost is very nice just adding a bit more light. Many thanks for sharing this lovely capture Patrick.
