Shaking Kingfisher

[Jay Tan]

I'm not quite sure if this particular one works. The kingfisher is scratching its right ear and i thought this one captures the circular blur motion with the eye sharp. Would love to hear some thoughts.

This is cool. Compositionally, its right on with the placement of the branch coming in from the corner. BG is great and contrasts well with the bird and the eye is so sharp.

This could easily go in the avian forum.

It works for me!!! Particularly the spiral created by the moving feathers, way cool.
the eye is perfectly sharp, so a keeper for sure :)

Very creative and effective !!!! The circular pattern does it for me !!!!

Very creative and the scratching bird looks very cool!
The background looks somewhat unnatural for me.

Nice shot! I love the sense of motion. Works very well.

Gosh, it's all good to me. They are such cool little birds in the first place. I love the lean of the head into the scratch. The beak open almost says, Ahhhh as he kills the itch.
