    Great pose, details and colors. I would give it a bit more room top and left. Is the second catchlight from water underneath? I might be tempted to remove the lower one.

    A wee bit tight for me. Great feather detail, head angle, pose, perch, bg ...you get the idea.

    Great colors and feather detail is amazing here Loukie. I love them close up like this so detail is presented nicely, Well done on a masterful job.
    The viewfinder is my guidance.

    Agree with others on giving some room in front of the bird. That apart, its a tack sharp image. Every feather is seen...

    Lovely image, but tight. The Kingfisher needs some space from my seat.

    Excellent as presented, Loukie. I would give it more room for a print, but web presentation can be a little tighter than usual.

    Superb detail and colours Loukie, and I also like the sense of depth to the image.
