Bonjour Laurent,
Merci pour ton très sympathique commentaire, mais quand je vois ton martin pêcheur, je suis scié, c'est, je pense, la plus belle photo de martin pêcheur que j'ai vu, le détail des plumes est impressionnant et les couleurs parfaitement rendue
un vrai coup de maître, bravo

Meraviglioso ritratto di martin pescatore, la 300th immagine non era stata così fortunata, ma spesso la fortuna arriva dopo averla cercata, ma non sempre in coincidenza con le "celebrazioni", eccellenti POV e DOF, bellissima composizione con le soffici piume e il martin pescatore in fase di riposo (oggi l'ho fotografato anch'io in analoga situazione, ma a circa 13 metri e con il solo 300), straordinaria definizione dei dettagli, fantastici i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello Laurent, this looks like it was a windy day - the breast feathers of this beautiful Kingfisher are fluffing out nicely in the wind.
The colours are great, and your details are spot on. It makes me think it might be a young Kingfisher
Well done
