    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 light, details, BG and the fish adds to it. I would add more room top and left. Thanks for sharing!

    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.
