It's a very nice bird small in the frame image Richard, I don't know how it would hold up if you crop it to vertical but I think that would work well here also.

Nate: Here's a portrait version which really makes the bird more prominent in the frame. Thanks for the suggestion. Richard

Indeed, the vertical composition looks (even) better ! Love the light and the unusual perch for the KF! Well done, Cheers, Hans

What a beautiful capture of this Pied Kingfisher. I had never see one your photo really shows great detail. The softness of the grass and the solid background make for many contrasts. Yes, I do like the changes to the frame in the vertical orientation.

I really like the light on this one and the perch is really unusual and makes the image a lot more interesting. The image really stands up well to the larger crop.
