Pied Kingfisher

[Bibhav Behera]

This was shot in Ranganathittu on my visit last weekend. It was pretty strongly backlit.

Canon EOS 7D, 300mm f/4L IS USM + 1.4x Extender
SS 1/500 (+0.7EC)
f/8
ISO 400

Full Frame Image. Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice perch and eye contact. The beak looks nice, long and sharp :). Agree about the light. Thanks for sharing.

Good that you saw this one. Did you click a vertical? The dagger like beak is well documented. Light on the eyes would have been great.

Cheers,
