Lovely image, Stu. The bird and perch are beautiful but the background is drop dead gorgeous. Kingfishers are my nemesis, I have yet to get images I am satisfied with. Here they are such a flighty bird. Thank you for sharing.

Looks good Stu. The head is angled slightly away, but having it turned this way would have had the face in shade. Nice perch, great BG. I love the red chest feathers.

The thumbnail of this gives no hint to how good this shot is. The bird, the perch, the background all excellent as is your rendering. The light angle has also shown up nice feather detail that might not otherwise be apparent and with only a minor 'cost' of that shadowing around the back of the head. Thanks for sharing.

Nice kingfisher like the perch and the composition here.

Great shot of this KF.
I love, love the BG and the lines created by the perch.
I quite like the side lighting- adds a bit of drama.
These birds are gorgeous. A solid A from me!
