Nice detail and colors in this one Keith. I also like the head turn and mossy perch.

Keith,
Love these King Fishers. Very colorful. Exceptional perch and pleasing background. Could use slightly more room at the bottom in my opinion if you have it.

Little large in the frame for me and the reds seem slightly dull. Maybe a drop in gamma would sort it.
Otherwise not too bad a kingfisher pic. There are that many Kingy pics posted everywhere these days they have to stand out.

Wonderful light and colors, great detail, especially visible in the larger version. If you have it I might add back in a little more of the image all around.

That is one beautiful bird! I wish the kingfishers out here in Alberta looked like this

! Really nice pose from him, and good detail too. Love the mossy perch, it looks great! Though I do have to agree with some of the others about having more room on the bottom. Still a great shot!
