You did fairly well with a difficult subject in harsh light. At what time was the image created? I do like the open bill and the raised foot. Welcome, and thanks a ton for your membership support.
ps: In bright sun using lots (zero or even +1) of flash can help at lot.

Hi Arthur ,
Thank you for your appreciation and advice . I will try out your suggestion on the flash .
This was shot at 2:45 PM in may , with the sun being harshest and temperatures ranging around 42 Deg C in Delhi .
Sounds like a warm day in Florida! And YAW.

Hi Nonnie, Beautiful bird and like Artie I like the raised foot and open beak. Compositional rise maybe a little more space in front if you have it and I think a tad more sharpening would also help.

You did a good job on this guy considering the intensity of light. I like the open beak and BG a lot but I think that it needs more room at the right. Very nice species by the way :)
One of my favorite "fisher from the east! Lovely action, as already mentioned.
Nice pose. Interesting that no one mentioned the fact that this poor bird lost all its tail....:eek:
Like the fact that the kingfisher is doing something interesting when you caught him in your lens ,very handsome
