I Love these kingfishers. They are very skittish when I try to capture them. Nice job in getting so close

What a gorgeous kingfisher. Very cool perch too. Really nice pose. Maybe crop a bit from the right to get rid of some of that heavy darkness in the upper right corner?

Great image, Neil. It's amazing the color diversity between kf species.

Impressive beak on this fellow, sharp where it needs to be, taking a little off the right would move it out of the center of the frame some.
