I had withdrawal symptoms today ....at least a week since I had been out to shoot....so went out in pouring rain.. and got my reward when this chap turned up....
I would have liked all of the bird sharp...but I was shoioting @ 1/60 @ F6.3 800 ISO resting on bean bag...
D3 200-400 vr lens.
all crit welcome and advice on my average PS welcome:)
What a little beauty. If it was mine I would take some off the top and back and also do some work on the BG to smooth out the straight lines. Nice image!
Such a beautiful bird, and beautifully portrayed here! It's great to capture in any weather. Smoothing out the background as mentioned above would be the only thing I'd change.
Kingfishers always make good images and this is no exception. Love the pose and detail. Cobwebs don't bother me, it all helps to add interest, like the rain drops.
