Incredible Tony, these are wonderful. A bird we all want and you got the perfect images. Great light, perfect exposures and awesome details. Among your very best and that�s really saying something.

Thanks, Rob. Now if I could only get an in-flight shot.

Impressive as hell Tony

So in #2 you just cloned out the distracting oof kf?

Thanks, Nello. The oof kf took off after the first shutter click.

Excellent Tony. Love the first with two birds in the same positions. The third with the protection (eyelid) closed in front of the eye. About 5-10% of all my Kingfisher shots are like that

Thanks, Lars. First time I have got two perched together.

Outstanding set Tony,

each shot a beauty - but # 1 takes top honors due to eye contact.

Lil

Thanks, Lil.

Excellent light; great shots. About how far were these and could you share the lens used? Shot from a blind??

Like them all; love the first one.

Thanks for sharing Tony.

Thanks, Vivek. Taken from car blind at about twenty feet with 40D & 400 f5.6.

Amazing - #3 is Fav due to not being the normal 'posed' shot

Thanks, Mort. I ask them for different poses, but they generally ignore me. I am happy with any pose they give me.

Great set! # 3 is my favorite.Great job in retaining detail in the white part of the inside feathers(not always easy to do) and great color as well.

All i can say is wow! These are amazing. Number 5 stands out for me. I don't know how you do it - I've yet to get close to a kingfisher.
