All of us who have tried to photograph these bullets in flight know how quick they are... so congrats on capturing this BKF with good detail and wonderful exposure. Well done.
Looks like he's climbing above you, ideally it would be nice to get him on a lower flyby to capture the beautiful detail and color on the topside of the wings on the downstroke. :-)

Lovely Kingfisher, sharp, nice colors. In a perfect world the extension of the right wing would match the left, but I know all too well it is rare to have things perfect. Thank you for sharing, Juan.

Well done Juan, this is a lovely looking image. Nice colours throughout and some good detail on the KF. It would be interesting to see what others think but it looks to me, that the critical focal point is on the feet area of the bird.

Great capturing a fast bird like these guys.

Kirk has pretty much summed up what I thought here. Kudos on being able to track it....
