Well done, Chris. Lovely flight shot with the light showing the male plumage beautifully. Whites on the leading edge of the wing look a little hot but probably OK in your unsharpened TIFF. Small pity about the moulted centre tail feather. I will have to make a plan to join one of your trips!!!
Great find and image, this kingfisher does look huge. Do you know how big it is? I like the details, BG and sense of motion and might increase the color temperature slightly. The whites of the wings have a slight blue cast on my monitor.
Chris, this is an amazing capture. Superb flight pose and beautiful detail. The whites are hot, and I think reducing the contrast on just the bird would improve the image.
Thanks for the comments guys. Body length is around 45cm (18 inches) and it ways around 365g . I'd say its about the same size as the Australian Kookaburra.
