I'll take it if you don't want it...heh..heh. Nice shot, it looks good even though there is a halo. What causes that? I would love to see this bird!

Nothing wrong with that shot. I would be quite happy if I took that. Technical details are only a small aspect of a good photo. I think composition is so much more important and the composition here is wonderful.

I don't reckon that looks too bad, perhaps lacking a bit of contrast to give it some bite, but I'd be pleased to get a shot lke that, heck I'd be pleased to even get a Kingfisher in the viewfinder.

I'd be pleased even to see a kingfisher in this country LOL. I think it's a lovely shot and I agree with Shirley that the composition is super.

What you're sorry about that photo? I think its awesome considering the size of King Fishers and how flighty they seem to be. I've only ever seen 2 in the wild lol

Nice shot :)

Incredible!

I only wish I could capture an image of this caliber.

Well done.
