A classic image. Nice detail on both bird and fish. Great background too.

Smart shot Dave and I especially like the BG colour. If you are going to post stuff like this I do hope that you stick around even if you just make use of the new 19USD deal :wink:

Do you have the new 1.4 TC? I picked one up recently and it is a great improvement with my MKIV-500f4 combo.

Hi Dave :wavey:

Don't make it your last post, I have only just rejoined :frown:

This is a great image but for me the front down to tail end of the Kingfisher looks a bit odd, is there an halo from sharpening? Great background, perching & plumage detail :toast:
