I like the angle, look-back pose and eye contact. I might remove one of the catchlights and the whites look a bit greenish on my monitor. Could you have moved a bit to your right for a BG without vertical stalks?

Very Nice image. Colors are looking so rich here. Nice BG too..

BG vertical stalks are distracting, could use some USM on the bird IMO.
But always nice to see a Malachite, beautiful color.

Sweet looking Kingfisher, love the colors and wet look.
I find the BG a bit distracting.
