I like the composition. The branch looks good. The overall green theme is nice as well. You have some catchlight. Would have been great if you had some more light falling on the bird. Good job at a low shutter speed. Thanks for sharing.

Nice catch. Is it a fish in the mouth? I like the eye contact here. Composition is nice. I guess shutter speed was pretty low due to the canopy. Overall, looks good. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice one of this shy bird. You could try brightening it up a bit.

Nice sighting and good capture.

Kingfishsers are too shy and photographing them is very difficult.
