Striped Kingfisher #2

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

I had posted an image of this bird a few days ago (that was with the 500mm II & 5D III in portrait orientation) This is another pose with the 7D II and 100 400 II L (shot in landscape orientation) I am very pleased with the sharpness the new 100-400 II is delivering!

Sanjeev bet your pleased with the sharpness if this is anything to go by, I very much like your portrait crop, bird is stunning.

Very good IQ with perfect details. The comp works well for me with the unique perch. I'd be tempted to tone down the bright upper right corner, but I like everything else.

Nice image, well lit bird and composition, Sanjeev. I would clone out the left side dry twig.

[Geoff Newhouse]

Very nice, love seeing species from far away on this forum. I think pose, perch and BG are perfect. I would maybe clone out the left and right long horizontal twigs, especially the left one as the right one has more character with the leaves but I found the left one more distracting and bare.

A superb capture in all respects especially IQ, but the horizontal twigs are unfortunate.
