I spent two hours in a hide trying to photograph one of these Sacred Kingfishers without success. When I got back to the car for a cuppa this one was perched just 10 metres away. Maybe he took pity on me :-)

I learned something new today. I have never seen nor heard of this bird before. How beautiful. You captured him in every detail. Your fortunate you were able to pull this off. I like the background also. The way the green peels off into blue on the right compliments the bird.
Grrrrrrrrreat capture.

The clarity of this bird is amazing. I will agree with PatAndre with the background but would like to add that the two colors in the bakground are the two colors in the birds feathers, even futhre enhancing this image. Not have the bird dead center is also a nice touch. I even like the border (something I normally don't like to see in pictures). All in all, great job.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.
So, did you or not poor the king a cuppa tea?
What a beautiful creature, and very well composed!

Hi Robert. This looks awesome. How ever it seems like the background was added later. Is it?

Wonderful shot. What a beak that little fellow has--and you have captured it and the rest of him with such clarity. Great lighting and composition as well, of course.

What a brilliant capture Robert! That color on the bird looks so unusual. It reminds me of the ocean water in the caribean. The whole image works so well...great job:-)

If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.

A beautiful little fellow. Stunning color and such a long peak. The blurred green background helps bring out his bright blue/green feathers. What a charmer! I like the way you have framed the image. Love your work!
