Pied Kingfisher - mating

[Ofer Levy]

1D Mark 2, Canon 500 f4, x2, f8, 1/400, iso 320, tripod, full Wimberley, hide

Never processed this one until recently. Taken in Israel about 4 years ago.

Very slight crop

[Fabs Forns]

Very nice action, BG and perch. EXP nailed. I may add some canvas on top if you have it.
Sometimes we forget we have unprocessed jewels :) TFS.

Terrific capture Ofer...these guys don't sit still for a second....at least not for me. Love the perch and the BG..like the techs shooting at 1000mm. TFS

Hi Ofer, no different to our Pied's here in SA. Male with the ring on the chest. Good 'action' captured, and interesting looking perch. I also like the colours in the BG.

[Grace Scalzo]

Fine image, Ofer. This would fit nicely with July's project (interaction!)

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Incredible timing and awesome action , composition and detail. Beautiful work Ofer !!

[John Wright]

What a great image! You've nailed the exposure, DOF and timing!

[Joe Senzatimore]

Beautifl image captured in an outstanding manor. A little canvas on top is a great suggesstion.

Beautiful capture Ofer. Sharp details, interesting perch and nice BG. I'm glad that it wasn't left forgotten.

[Craig Brelsford]

What other jewels do you have waiting in your archive? :)

[Danny Laredo]

Excellent timing and moment you captured here Ofer. Love the perch.

[Michael Stern]

Tis the season...albeit...4 years ago...
Excellent capture...

Perch, BG and captured moment make this a great image. A wider crop might work, too. Some of the whites look white/yellow, those on the far wing of the male a bit magenta on my monitor.

Excellent Ofer, you sure have a lot of nice photos from before!!!
