Great tuff. Love it

Hi Gail.
I love kingfishers and this colorful little one looks great against the soft brown tones of the background. I really like how the grass stem curves into the frame. The strands are nicely lit and provide environmental interest. Outstanding shot!

Hi Gail, love the soft light here, which in turn have brought out the colours so well, and spot on too. I like your comp showing the splayed end of the reed, and thats a perfect 'fishing' pose from the little jewel.
These guys are really small arent they. I dont think most people realise how small they actually are until you see one.

This is the type of image that a small internet version does not do justice...but I can tell that it must look superb big! Nicely done Gail.

Love the inclusion of their papyrus habitat with a nice sense of scale Gail, very well executed.
Where was this taken BTW?

I've photographed these guys many times and yes, whilst very small, the adults are actually around 14cm (5+ inches tall)

Gail it might have been dull for you but you would not know it looking at this stunning image.
Cheers Keith.
