C.Kingfisher

[Danny Laredo]

On the morning I got the flight shot, the same Kingfisher landed with a proper sized fish.
Actually the fish was huge and it took a while for the Kingfisher to get a handle on it and eat it.
But soon after it landed with this fish, it turned its back on me, so except for this image and maybe 3-4 others, I came away with nothing else.

How nice of the kingfisher to hold the fish face-forward for you! I wouldn't mind a bit more room, and would tone down the lighter parts of the perch and fish. Love the wet plumage.

Great Light, superb colours, Agree to DC's points, still love this Congrats..

[Ben Egbert]

A gorgeous image. Sharp, great background, pose, perch.

[Brian Barcelos]

Nice head angles.:D The little tongue sticking up really adds to the hungry feel here. I also agree that the perch needs some toning down. Other than that a very stunning image.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Cool capture, I like the sharpness, eye contact, BG and the fish add to it. Another vote for toning down the highlights and maybe a bit wider crop.

[Stu Bowie]

Its always great to see these guys with their catch in their beaks. I like the colours, and good to see the eye of the fish too. I like the linchen on the perch.

[Elmar Venter]

This is so beautiful - colours, background, perch, sharpness, catch, wet feathers. You should be happy if this is all you came away with.

[James Salywoda]

Awesome shot Danny beautiful colors and detail the fish puts it over the top for me.....

[Marc Mol]

Your killing us Danny with this little guy, sharp with superb BG, only nit is the overpowering perch.

[Marina Scarr]

I am never going to get tired of seeing you post this species. Agree on slighty more room all around and toning down the perch just a tad. After that, this is probably my favorite thus far.

Very nice image Dany. Great details and the fish is a big plus. Ditto about toning down the lightest parts.
