    Hi Dumay, Love the perch and detail on the Kingfisher if this were mine I would lighten the area around the eye just a tad to help it stand out just a bit more.

    Nice comp, light on the bird, head position and BG. I think the bird could stand a little sharpening, and agree that a lighter eye would help. Minor nits, and overall this is lovely as presented.

    Considering the aperture and the distance to subject, the shot is amazing. Handheld or tripod?
