Really nice Sandy.The Kingfisher is sharp and clear. The background is a little distracting for me, but you don't get to choose. Great capture.

Wow.... An image in a style that really works for me. The vague background adds so much to the image, and this makes it so much more than the mere Kingfisher-on-a-Stick... Wonderful ! , Hans

Pretty cool image. Really colorful kingfisher. I like some of the abstract parts of the background. I wonder if it would help if the background were a bit darker. Easy enough to do with an adjustment to darken the background and mask off the bird. Might be worth a look?
