Smyrna Kingfisher

[Ruben Alexander]

Caught the bird perching conspicuously on an overhead electric line. Also known as White-throated Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) or White-breasted Kingfisher.

Nice image. The eye contact is nice. You can crop the hint of a wire (?) in the left top corner. A more natural perch would have been good. A narrow aperture would have helped to get the entire bird in focus. Look forward to more.

I agree with the previous comment. I think you have uploaded a large file. The file has to be maximum 800 pixels on the longest side and less than 200 kb file size. When a file bigger than 200 kb or longer than 800 pixels on the longest side is uploaded, then software automatically resizes and the image loses quality.

Cheers,

I agree about cropping out the wire at the top left corner. A natural perch would have been better. Thanks for sharing.
