While hiking in low tide and looking at the conch shells I learned that the creatures living there are see snails. I wonder how the world looks like when your eyes are looking in the opposite directions?

Very cool series, Alfredo! I haven't had the luck or skill to capture a KF fishing yet. Little birds in flight are tough for me.
Thank you Douglas! This was the case of just being in the right place at the right time. As you know, kingfishers are super fast. This whole sequence was likely less than 10 seconds. The a1 is a marvel and makes up for my basic birding skills.

Impressive pictures! Crazy eyes well captured.

By far the best roseate image I've seen in a long time. Subtle processing. The low key approach is perfect and the exact opposite from the usual rendition.

Thanks! Spoonbills are great; they're big bundles of character and personality, always something new to capture if you're watching at the right moment.
Two small lizards, one from A1 + 100-400GM x2TC at 800 mm (further cropped), while the other is from A1 + Tamron 35-150 F2-2.8, in the APS-C mode at 225 mm.
These are both super, but the 1st is excellent - the detail around the eye is mesmerizing!

Thank you! The first is a 20MP crop from the original 50MP image (effective 1260 mm focal length). A local correction was applied toward the eye, to lift the shadows and make it look more "clear." Lizards have dark eyes which may look like black holes when uncorrected.
