Very beautiful shot!
Great colors and perfect perch.
Not sure about all the cobwebs, though - I think I'd get rid of them, myself.

Excellent. Great perch, and I really like the sharpness, colors and composition. Don't you dare get rid of those cobwebs Brian.

Exquisite shot. The kingfisher is wonderful and the twisted, lichened, cobwebbed branch makes for an excellent composition, a worthy subject in its own right.

Absolutely gorgeous image, Brian. Particularly for a bird so notoriously difficult to get near. The perch and bg are perfect.

I like the cobwebs, the lichens, interesting branch shape, pose of the bird and the lovely natural colors.

Incredible image. Bird is really sharp. Love the perch and the colors compliment each other so well. Cobwebs in!
