Kingfishers are my nemesis bird so I always enjoy images that others can get. A very nice and clean image and good look over the shoulder. It could use a little more room on the left for the bird to "look" into. I think that the point of focus was on the back and thus the head is just a little soft. You can always select just the head and sharpen it to bring it up to the level of the rest of the bird. Good job getting one of these.
