Ram, I really like the sharpness on the head and beak, and what lovely colours this little guy has. Good low perspective, but not really a natural perch for a kingfisher. More DOF would have been even better.

Ram, liked the IQ and the composition a lot. Angle pretty pretty good for car shot. Great colors and sharpness on the head.

With birds that are perched with their back to you, its always a good idea to stop down to get the tail and head both sharp. You probably were worried about BG blur here though.
