I just love kingfishers, even though I've never seen one in real life.
A beautiful photograph in every respect.
A lovely bird, but not exactly camouflaged is he.

A beautiful bird and an equally beautiful shot. The square composition is attractive and the detail in the kingfisher are amazing. His coloration is beautiful and contrasts nicely with the background.

I love to see kingfishers and this one is particularly pretty with its vermilion bill and legs. I like the shades of blue on its head and the almost purple blue on the wings.

What a beautiful bird you have photographed. Seems to me he would be a fast one to get to hold still. The colors are fabulous and the detail is sharp. beautiful job!

Comment from Charlie Newman
Placement in the frame and the vivid colors of the bird make this photo stand out. The focus is sharp. The details of the bird are very clear and the details are well defined. Your knowledge of camera techniques show very well. Should do well in the contest. Good luck.

A very good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us a very enjoyable view of your kingfisher and its location. Those colours are beautiful. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

I love this bird and captured my ghost one on film recently but unfortunately not to the closeness of yours. It really is a stunning bird and especially when the sun reflects off the plumage . It's a great shot with excellent composition
