Two open mouths
Ive gone for a portrait here, as when this Pied Kingfisher came out the water with his catch, he landed on a perch where it was being partially shaded by another part of the tree. I realise that the head is angled slightly away from me, but it also gives me a good angle of the fish with the open mouth directly at me. Taken over the weekend in the Pilanesberg National Park. This is a bit of a crop than what I would have liked.

nice image Stuart,how close were you,like the fishes mouth open,nice one.
Well done! great moment! nice BG and the whites are very well controlled
Unreal, very unique and very well done.
This has to be a very large crop, but the IQ is very good.

What a great capture! Perfect exposure & DOF. TFS
This is absolutely fantastic. The fish with it's open mouth adds so much drama to the image. Looks like a great day out fishing! Job well done.
a dramatic catch for both of you Stu!

A great capture of a moment in nature,Stu.Well done.The whites are well exposed and the IQ is very good for a presumably large crop.The portrait works well here.
A fine portrait and a great nature story well told in the photo.
Nice one Stu on a clean BG. Crop detail loss is noticeable but still not bad at all on the IQ front!
A great close up, super pose and detail. The quality looks good to me and the focus is spot on.
Thanks Christopher. According to the metadata/exif info from bridge, it shows 8.4m. When I look back, its sounds correct.Originally Posted by christopher galeski
Thanks a stack to everyone else for the kind words.
Stuart, Great details and capture. Love the open mouths!
This is way too good, Stuart. Well done.
wow Stuart!!! this is awesome!
Stuart, IQ has held up quite well. Low ISO, perfect exposure, super clean BG and stopped-down-bit-from-wide-open....these things always helps in big crops. Would you mind sharing the orig?...just to get an idea.
awesome shot...at multiple levels. loved the fish mouth and details on the KF.
Thanks a stack all.For Kaus, here is the original just downsized to 1024 wide. As can be seen, I was concentrating on the head area, due to all the shady areas.
thx. Stuart.
A real stunner. Very sharp and just love the open mouths. Unusual capture. I also like the way the tongue points to the fish.
Great pose and setting you have here.
Great image Mate, love the detail
