White Throated Kingfisher

[Atul Sinai]

Got opportunity to shoot the portfolio of this beautiful bird. It was on the same perch for around 10 mins. Light was bit harsh and I was fair distance away. This was the closest I could get by crawling towards it.

Sharing the moment captured.

Nice pose. I agree reducing the saturation would be good. The composition is fine. Wish the light was less harsh. Thanks for sharing.

Nice pose. Makes for a change :). I like the greens in the image. Agree about the saturation.

Thanks for the comments !

Agree with the saturation boost in this image. I sometimes boost the saturation for stock as it is required to make the image commercially more appealing.

I forgot to tone it down on this occasion. My apologies.
