Beautiful capture with excellent focus and detail Ron and a very nice pose and a great BG. No nits for me .

[Glenn Bartley]

This is really nice. Great pose, BG and a pretty cool shape to the perch. Well done!

[Mike Poe]

Subject, pose, BG, perch all excellent. I am curious about the under exposure of 2/3 stop. Was this necessary to hold back blowing out any highlights? I would think your histogram would show still having ample room for more exposure to the right.

[Glenn Ehmke]

Excuse me for answering Rons question for him Make, but I reckon you could blow that iridescent blues out pretty easily. I often do with reds and yellows.

P.S. please excuse my terrible typing MIKE...

You have a Kingfisher in your garden. Sweet..unless it's a water garden w/fish.

[Fabs Forns]

Tis is very well done, nicely composed, good head turn and wonderful colors and sharpness. Congratulations!

[Robert Hardy]

Stunning shot would be hard to better it.

How does anybody get a kingfisher to visit your backyard??? Fantastic capture, pose and uncluttered BG. Nice one!!!
