Perfectly focused on the eye of the bird as he peers into the sky. Love the colors - think the bird would have popped more if background was blurred but overall a lovely presentation. :)

This is such a nice photograph. I'm glad you captured what you were waiting for. Nice focus and lighting. Good interest and color. I like how the branches and greenery frame the beautiful bird. Nicely captured.

A lovely photo! The bright sun lit Kingfisher has beautiful, bold colors, his details are focused nicely and the dof is well done. Nice work!

This is a nice photo to look at. The colors on the bird are vibrant with energy and compliment the photo with the bird being the main focus. The natural background gives a feel that the viewer is present.

You are so blessed to be in the vicinity of so many beautiful animals. This Kingfisher is amazing. So small, but designed so perfectly with vibrant colors. You have captured this bird in perfect light and colors.

Sharp, crisp and well displayed. I would love to one of little guys up close and personal. The colors are goregous. Love the tourquoise blues that are around his head. The contrasting orange really gives him visibility. Beautiful work.

    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this eye-catching Kingfisher.
    We don't have Hummingbirds with their colourful plumage but we do have this little beauty . That has us running up & downstream on the Dodder hoping to catch sight of it preferably perched so we can focus the camera on it.... often all you see is an iridescent blue Bullet shape speeding past us!

The Kingfisher is such a beautiful bird with the colorful feathers, and this one is posing for you in such a lovely way. The light is falling so nicely on the bird, and it is standing out from the green foliage in an excellent way.

The photo is very sharp showing such clear and well defined details in the feathers of the bird, and the exposure is perfect.

The format is working well and the bird has got a fine placement within the frame. A truly sweet and well taken photo Susan, and with a very good DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.

What a beautiful little bird! As you probably know, I have a bird feeder in my yard. I have never seen this type of a bird out there, but I guess that is due to where I live. I like the way the light is really highlighting the bird and the branch he is perched on.
