Processing over done IMO, has it looking more like a painting than a photo.

My guess is too much NR.

Very cool pose for the bird but I agree that it looks way over processed.

Well, Akhan often shoots birds that are very very far away and to then come up with results as these? I take my hat off to you Akhan! A great shot of a Kingfisher in a pose not often seen.
