Truly amazing image in all regards, Alan.
Can't believe I'm saying this on such a fabulous image, but a tiny bit better HA would have been so much over the top!! Anyhow, I can't remember seeing a prettier setup than this...very artistic! Super job as usual.
awesome and perfect are words that come to mind. Would you consider doing this setup sans the flowers - just a study in green?
Thanks Matthew, I most certainly would. Sometimes I just don't know when to stop :-)
A buddy of mine gave me a glimpse of your latest setup guide book and man the results you get blow me away. Love the creativity in the perches and surrounding wildflowers add a nice touch - and of course the visitor.

A setup and you couldn't get the fish facing the other direction?! haha just kidding. Another stunner from you.
On a side note, just checked out your recent newsletter. Killer stuff! Hope to see some more of those on BPN :)
Spectacular! You always have beautiful setups.
A real beauty Alan!
Beautiful image,well done.
Excellent setup, light, BG & composition. TFS
WOW! I have never seen this species before and you have shown him so beautifully. Love the greens. A truly wonderful image.
I hesitate to say this, but I wish the tall yellow flower wasn't in the set-up. It is just a bit too much for my taste.

Hi Alan, great colour palette, the wild flowers just takes it up several notches and the 'perch' is almost that 'holly grail' we all search for. Food in the beak is the 'icing', cracking image!

Hi Alan, I can see why they call this species of kingfisher green. I like the setting you created from your setup, lovely light and detail, and the tiny meal adds to the overall image.
Great setting crisp & sharp image they don't get much better than that...
