Small Blue @ Zuari

[Kaustuv Chatterjee]

Shot along the riverbank of the Zuari in Goa last year, Dec.

The uncommon Common Kingfisher. We saw the collared kingfisher too, but could not manage a shot :(

Shot with the Nikon D 90, Nikkor 70-300mm VR, at 300mm, ISO 500, 1/200s - F/5.6, -0.3EV

The diagonal composition looks good. I would have preferred slight off centered placement of the bird. Good eye contact. Thanks for sharing.

Nice pose. Reducing the sharpening would be good. Thanks for sharing.

nice colours and pose, the tail twitching is an indication for action... either flying off or diving.
