I like the unusual kingfisher pose but would prefer a more side view of the face. The Bg is very distracting and the creen strip across the lower part of the frame is not very nice. If this image is from a set up I sugest to you to improve the perch because there is clear evidences of a being cut with a knife or the like. I like the position of the main subject in the frame. Keep them coming ;-)

You've got the bird nice and sharp, Farad. The BG is quite busy and with this unusual pose I think a vertical crop would help eliminate some of the distracting BG. The white under the chin is a bit hot and the image could benefit from reprocessing the raw with some minus exposure and recovery. Look forward to more images from Iran.

Hi Farhad, YAW. Lovely bird, good exposure, interesting posture, and sharp. I would love to see more of the bird's face. The perch is too large for the bird and the pointy broken end is distracting. But the biggest problem is the distracting BKGR. It would be possible to tone down and soften the BKGR a bit with good technique.
