Great feather detail, eye contact, BG, and exposure Ondrej. I think the motion blur tells a story, so I don't mind it at all. The crop is a little tight up top. Thanks for posting!
Great BG, colours and detail, Ondrej. Flying fish and blur adds to it. Agree re more space. Perch looks big and bright and I would be tempted to burn it in a bit to reduce the impact.
The Kingfishers have always been one of my favoutite bird to shoot. It's a pleasure to see this image. You have got some nice lighting and background. The open beak and the curved fish makes it for me. I am ok with the blurr in the beak, which shows some motion. The perch over powers the bird a bit, but that's a small one compared to the beauty of this image.
Perch looks fine here. Otherwise, I agree with the excellent comments above.
