Nice image Atul, we missed out on this kingfisher during my visit as the light was very low that evening.

Sweet bird. Nice image. I agree with the composition. The colour scheme is nice here. Is the background a lake?

You may revisit the post processing as the blacks in the body and bill has lost details. The whites in the body and the neck portion has also lost details. Also, there is a dust spot above the bill and a few cloning artifacts on the left.

Overall, it looks good. Look forward to more.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Nice perch and eye contact. Agree about recovering the details in the bill and the body. Liked the composition. Thanks for sharing.

Nice composition. The perch looks a bit pixellated. Agree about the blacks...
