Good capture Kumaran. Nice pose and eye contact. Focus could have been better here, but still well done. Which AF drive were you using?

[Kaustuv Chatterjee]

Just before the dive...well captured!

Nice flight pose. I agree that the critical focus is not there. It also happens because of the short focal length. I am sure soon you will be able to get an even better one. Look forward to more Kingfisher in flight images. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
