    I like the details of the wing. Not sure but it seems the bird is slightly angled off the plane of the sensor (first time I've ever written thing like this :o ). I also think the eye could be a tad sharper, too. Overall, I think it's a good image.

    Desmond's right...he's just a bit off the sensor plane going in the wrong direction but good golly it's a beautiful image! Next time, wait for the head turn if possible and don't change anything else...it's perfect!

    All I can say is wow! It was worth the wait to see such a nice kingfisher photo. This is one of my 'nemesis' birds; can't ever seem to get close enough to get a good photo. Love everything about it. As Julie mentioned, a little head turn would be icing on the cake, and I would probably add a little canvas up top, but that's all. Congrats!

    Thanks so much for the feedback. I have a shot with the head turned towards me but I failed to get the wings sharp like this one. Guess I'll just have to try again :)
