Man, the head looks so flat and elongated, I guess I'm too used to seeing the huge head of a Belted Kingfisher. I can't help but think you could add a bit of canvas above.
Wonderful. The only thing I would try to do is lighten up the area around the eye a little. When I move my head up and down while looking at the flat screen LCD monitor, the image improves when things are lighten in this area.

Great bird, BGKR, and way sharp. I'd go for a pano crop to get rid of the tiny vertical branch and improve the balance. Ernie M would surely not want you to clone out that little stick... We had a good discussion at NANPA. later and love, artie
