HI Alexander,

Love the colors and amazing BG. I only wish for a better head angle and perhaps some fill flash to take care of the shadows. Composition works for me very well!

Thanx Maxim. I rather not work with flashes on the birds at my hide-out. and I realy like to work with natural light insted. I am a fan of nicely composed shadowparts as long it gives the subject extra value bud that is a question of personel taste I geuss;) The head angel gave the bird a little bit of a Al Capone Look so I didn't wanted to chance that eather. Next time I'lle bring you a Kingfisher the way I"ll think you like it:D;)
