    Default Kingfisher

    Hello,

    My name is Frank and I have just signed new here. My English is not the best.
    As an initial screen, I wish you a goat picture of a kingfisher.

    Hello Frank and welcome. Great picture, I like comp and background. Nice to have a new member from Europe and who think that English is a bit difficult, like me.

    Welcome Frank. And thanks a stack for your membership support. What is the shorebird in your avatar???

    Nice bird with a nice BKGR. The image could go a bit darker overall and it needs more room especially on the bottom. If as I suspect you have done some cropping, can you please post the full frame version?

    Welcome, I am also new and have found this to be an incredibly rewarding forum to participate in. Nice shot, great colors and catchlight. Good pose and perch too.

    Welcome Frank. Very colorful birds. As others suggested may be a little more space at the bottom?

    Hi Frank, a big welcome to BPN, and to the avian forum. Good pose, and you have exposed the colours nicely. The little guy is nice and sharp, and I agree, adding some more space to the bottom wont harm this image.

    Beautiful image Frank! I agree with a little more room on the bottom. Welcome to BPN.
