Re: KingFissher ? I Think

Have you seen Callie's thread on this self same bird?

Re: KingFissher ? I Think
Beautiful colours and some will like the neutral background (I personally would like to see some nice greenery out of focus).Originally posted by lourensb View Post
The position of this beautiful bird is not ideal and I can't see its eyes very clearly. But it is in focus - a good start which can be improved on.
I hope you will start a gallery here and then you will be able to feature your photos in full rather than as attachments. See the guide for doing this.

Hi there Lourens,Originally posted by Tinka View Post
It is a beautiful shot of a kingfisher. They are small, if its the Malachite Kingfisher found in Kwa Zulu Natal & Highveld etc. I love the clarity of image & colours. I have seen them in the wild a number of times when living in South Africa.JocelynComment

Re: KingFissher ? I Think
Fanstastic colours. I do like the neutral background but would of like you to have taken a lower perspective so we could see the bird fully side on.
Best Regards

Re: KingFissher ? I Think
Definately a Kingfisher, and a super shot at that!Originally posted by lourensb View Post
If I was to be uber critical, I would say that it could do with a little catchlight in the eye, and a lower view would have been preferable.
However, that said, as it stands, its a wonderful shot, with vibrant colours. I like the neutral background as the bird is so vibrant it doesnt need a green, or natural backdrop.
The bird is very small, and very shy, so you have acheived something that I have wanted to for years. Well done, this is great!
