    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,

    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.

    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.

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