Ciao Maurizio,
sarà anche un classico del birdwatching, ma questo lo scriverei tra virgolette visto che cmq non è semplice riuscire a scattare una foto così definita e ricca di dettagli come hai saputo fare tu. Poi è da un pò che sto a caccia del Martin ma fino ad ora gli ho visti solo svolazzarmi attorno e subito dopo sono spariti quasi a prendersi beffa di me. C'è comunque una bella luce radente che mette in risalto i colori del piumaggio ed il tutto spicca sul bello sfondo neutro che hai creato. Ottimo.

Hi Maurizio,

Congratulations on your 100th posting - I have enjoyed them all so much. You could not have chosen a more spectacular picture to celebrate with than this magnificent Kingfisher. A beautiful close-up showing off his striking colors and unusual beauty. Superb details of the head, eye, beak, plummage and even his little feet. A wonderful pose on the slightly diagonal branch, lovely background and excellent composition. Here's to the next 100!

Hello Maurizio
Congratulations on your 100th posting. Wow the time surely flies when one has fun and is surrounded by beauties as your Kingfisher. This is a lovely image that reminds me of my 1st posting of Trek Nature, also a Kingfisher. These birds remain one of my favourites, and I can understand why you have chosen this special image to celebrate your 100th posting with us. The colours and details captured are superb. The pose is great, almost innocent and shy. Just love the way its paws are kept together on the branch and its head is tilted side ways. This way we can se the beautiful variety of colours in its plumage, especially along the neckline. Details of the whole image are greatly displayed and the colours are bright and pleasing to the eye. This photograph is a pleasure to look at. I thank you for all your pleasant contributions on the site. Best regards.

Ciao Maurizio,
Una meravigliosa, ottima foto, speciale per celebrare i 100 fotografie in TN. Per me e tutto perfetto: lo sfondo, la nitidezza, i detagli nelle penne, la luce matinale, la buona postura dell´ucello.Un lavoro di 10 punti. Qui lo chiamamo martín pescador, simile al francese e l´italiano.
Complimenti!
