Lovely wing pose , nice looking eye and BG here, you have freezed wings very well
Looks tad oversharpned but that can be corrected very easily
One fine image:)

How about this image slightly under sharpened.

[Harshad Barve]

Looks better to my eyes:)

Re-post looks good. I might take a little off the left just to move the subject off center. Just my own taste.

Your patience was rewarded with an outstanding image. Great pose and BG color. I prefer the re-post over the original.

Re-post is definitely an improvement as the first was way oversharpened. I'd prefer more room in front and below. I like the typical kingfisher hovering pose - nice with the wing fully outstretched :).
