King of the fisherman

[Alexander Koenders]

This young kingfisher was still learning to fish and didn't catch anything....youngsters have a lot to learn.
I dedicate this picture to the newborn child of Jeroen Stel a boy called Laurens Marijn. Jeroen i like to congrat you and you’re wife and enjoy the moment because time passes by very fast.

This is such a great image. I absolutely love the perch!

Alexander, great image. That Olympus lens with the 2x is one sharp combo!

Cheers,

Excellent shot, Alexander. Light is lovely, BG complementary and perch lovely. Only comment I can make is maybe removing the bright spot on upper part of the bill and the lower catchlight in the eye - lovely image

[Joe Senzatimore]

An all around beautiful image. Light,comp,BG and perch all work together.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great perch, details, head angle and BG. I might add a bit more room at the bottom.

The perch, the colors, sharp, crop, and everything else, makes this one excellent. More than that, it is unque.
