I have taken this picture on the spanish Island Mallorca (Majorca) in an local nature reserve (Àlbufera) in October 2015.
I was very pleased , that the bird has made a short stationary flight, so i was able to catch him in this situation over water from my hide.
I hope you like the my little bird in the frame. :w3
Comments welcome

Hi Eric, I really like this, totally 'off the wall', a really cool image. :cheers:
I think you could go more pano 16x9, however I'm not sure if less below, or above, WDYT?
A pleasure to view.

Hi Eric, lovely colours on this juvenile Malachite Kingfisher, and looks pretty sharp for the small in the frame. Great that you captured the wings in a swept back position. The KF pops nicely from the BG.
That's a pretty cool and unique image. I don't remember ever seeing a small in the frame KF on this site or maybe ever! The bird just lights up!!
Great image Eric! I like the loose composition, sharp KF, wing position and colors of the environment match the KF very well.
Thank you untill here..Quote:

Hi Eric ...... german , LOL , masterclass !!!! :w3
Very well done !!!
A pleasure to view , TFS Andreas
Very fun image with the little jewel flying in the huge space. Not a common way of approach and I like it a lot. Well done, Eric.
This is lovely Eric. I love watching them hover, had one do it right outside my hide last year, and the separation with the BG is top notch.

What a nice image!
I agree with Steve's 16 x 9 crop suggestion. The light on the kingfisher is wonderful.
One of your best shots Eric,

What a pleasant surprise to open the thread and see this beauty. Small in the frame works so well here I believe because of the colors. No one has mentioned it but the white, top right, could go in my opinion. Well done!
What a pleasing image, small in the frame really works here. A beautiful Background and nice light on that beautiful Kingfisher.
Well done! As said above, this works very nicely as a Small-in-Frame image. The colors make her pop, wings are in a nice position, and the bird appears sharp. Also perfectly placed in the frame.
Lovely frame, love the colours throughout and the detail on the bird
Well done

Well done Eric. This is one of the best images of a kingisher I've seen. The hint of the environment in the background tells a lot, without being obtrusive.
