Hi Frank, this KF has given you a nice angled pose showing off his catch. Colours look spot on, on this fellow, and I like how the fish is curled against the darker BG. Ive seen Pied Kingfishers swallow what seemed like oversized fish to me, and no doubt this meal went down with no problem. 
Maybe a bit more space below to allow for a slightly larger space on the small branch facing to the bottom of the frame.

Great timing on this one, Frank. Love how you can see the fishes eye and how it's battling. Perfect techs, angle on of the bird and awesome BG.
