Great

Excellent shot, as usual! The fact you've captured it at all is amazing, Kingfishers are tricky at the best of times. The saturation looks almost unnatural, but I know just how vivid our Kingfishers can be... My only thought is that I'd like a little low radius USM applied to him to make the feather detail really pop - but I think I like my image sharper than you like yours, so that's a matter of taste more than anything. DOF looks spot on, and you've engineered a really nice catchlight in his eye too. I may be tempted to crop a little off the top of the image, but again that's a personal preference more than anything else. Thankyou for the interesting note, glad you survived! Wonderful capture :-D
