Thinking about it....
I think that's the Best Kingfisher Image I've seen here.....

You've added a layer of artistry & technical expertise to a beautiful subject.

Very well taken.

Outstanding clarity and detail. The bird is a good size in the frame. The good diffused background works well.
Friendly Regards
