Been waiting for this frame a long long time.

All in all it was a very good morning with the Kingfishers.
More to come (hope you guys are not fed up)

All c&c welcomed and appreciated.

Why would you think we could get fed up with images like this. I like it very much. The head, body, and feet appear sharp to me. The blurred wings provide a sense of movement which enhances the image for me. The colors are also pleasing. I also like the background. Very nice as presented. If I may, my only suggestion is that if it were mine I might see what smoothing out the few lines of color transition in the background would look like. Thanks for sharing.

Blurred wings imply movement and I like it. Great colors and pose, HA good or not. If you know what I mean. Excellent work Danny!

[Aidan Briggs]

Superb work. Great light, exposure, BG, and sharpness. The HA isn't great, but is decent, and seems natural or the angle of the body.

[Sid Garige]

Very nice details and just enough wing blur for my taste. Nice job.

I will never get fed up with kingfisher images. Keep them coming Danny.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

excellent image. Loved the sharp beak. Dont worry abt us getting fed up :-) Are the colors a little off...a little too warm is it?

HA might not be good, but it is still a rocking image. Love the hummer-like pose and the nice clean BG. Congrats.

[Mike Tracy]

One worth waiting for and one I would be proud of.

You might tone down the brighter areas on his back and desat the background a tad so not to compete with the bird itself.

One of your best Danny!
Never tire of these little beauties, superb detail & BG.

[Ed Cordes]

I really like the colors and BG. While the HA is not perfect the image is excellent as is.

[arash_hazeghi]

wing position and blurred tips make up for the HA, it's a great shot!

[Rahul Sachdev]

Nice details here. Loved the slightly blurred wings. Only nit here is the HA, but thats a small nit. I would love to have this in my bag of photos.

[Dave Barnes]

I love it. Great comp, light, detail and exposure. I dont mind the HA as is and I like the wing blur.

[Kiran Poonacha]

All i want to say is this is my dream shot, now I have seen your and will try harder for mine.. thanks for sharing this beauty.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Well done on getting the head sharp at that SS. Great background too:-)

[Danny Laredo]

Thank you all for the kind words and comments.

As for the HA..it works for me :)

[Raymond Barlow]

I like it a lot, congrats!

[Daniel Belasco]

Beautiful image.
Love the sense of movement in the wings.
Congrats.

[Dean Ingwersen]

Fantastic. Great control of the action - sharp head and blurry wings - make this a killer image. Really nice BG colours too.
