Shot from boat - in early morning light. Tour boat that does early morning trips up the daintree river - next time I will hire the boat out myself so that I can find these guys as they go about catching their dinner and get some nice shots.

Comments welcome - HAP might get me - HA is a little off ;)

OK, the head angle isn't perfect but it's a very nice image nonetheless. Nice smooth background. Great colors on the bird. Kingfishers are so cute; I've yet to see one....

Great colors and a really lovely bird. Nicely captured. Glad I'm not the only one in trouble with the HAP.
