The Fisherman in flight

[Kiran Poonacha]

This is a white breasted kingfisher taking off. I know the HA is not up to the mark, still I thought of posting it.

Spec: 1/5000, F 5.6, ISO 800.

MK4+500mm+1.4TC

Regards,

Kiran.

Kiranbhai, fantastic take off posture with the full wingspread and fanned tail. Tack sharp, and I like the detail and colours. Killer BG too. Very well captured.

[girisholeti]

Just too good. I have no complaints about HA. Need to spend one weekend with you to learn flight shots bhai :-)

[gail bisson]

Very very nice. Perfect wing spread and I love the fanned tail. The BG is excellent as well. No nits from me

Excellent image Kiran. Brilliant techs and wonderful wing spread.

[Arthur Morris]

Spectacular capture with amazing underwing detail. Head angle is better than you think. This one screams for some Eye Doctor work....

Bhai, did you see that I used one of your killer images in a recent BAA Bulletin?

[Doug Brown]

A lot to like here Kiran! I think Artie has a good idea; try to bring out a little more life in the eye, and your head angle issue will disappear.

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely pose, very sharp and nice clean bg. Very well done.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Kiran, had I taken it I think I would have thought of posing it too!! I agree about the eye and I would also have a look at the bill - not too sure what exactly but maybe a little more sharpening and or contrast.

[arash_hazeghi]

lovely pose and details Kiran! you nailed it, HA is just fine. detail and light are excellent. I agree needs some eye work! TFS, excellent work!

[dankearl]

Just really a great shot of really hard to capture birds (at least the North American cousins).
Beautiful colors.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very impressive!! HA not an issue for me either. Very nice BG, and perfect pose of this flying beauty!! At a minimum the eye needs a darker pupil.

[Ofer Levy]

Excellent shot!!! Fantastic pose, sharpness and detail!

Thank you guru.. Sure will sort that eye out.

I went through the bulletin and felt honored to be in your list. Thank you for the encouragement guru.. Really means a lot.

Hugs, Kiran.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thank you dear friends for your kind words and valuable suggestions. Sure the eye will be worked upon..

Thanks again,

Kiran.
