Kingfisher with fish Part II

[Jeroen Stel]

Here's another Kingfisher especially for Daniel Cadieux as he wanted one with the fish facing this way...
Would have liked a bit more room all around but this was allready shot full frame with a 12mm extension tube..

greetings,

Exceptional IQ Jeroen. Excellent image.

A very large perch for a beautiful, properly exposed, sharp little bird with a nice fish. Sweet BKGR.

[Jim Crosswell]

Nice sharp and colourful image. Well done Jeroen!

[Robert Jensen]

Love Kingfishers, this specimen is excellent with the fantastic color. I also like the horizontal composition you chose with the perch becoming a great leading line.

[James Salywoda]

Excellent detail and composition Jeroen these are such beautiful birds.

[Nico Steenberg]

Great IQ and comp. IMG is well exposed with good colours and killer bg

[Jonathan Ashton]

Gorgeous, a real gem of a shot, colours and detail absolutely first class.

BG is as good as it gets and the colors on the bird make it pop. Very nice light as well. A tad more room at the top will make it better...minor point though. terrific shot.

That cutie is not just for Daniel, it is for all of us! Thank you,

[Ken Roberts]

Stunning! He's a lot different than the Kingfishers we have out this way!
