Description
A few more kingfisher images that I have yet to share. They perch on dead tree limbs over the pond and I wait for them to fly using a monopod since I could not hand hold that long until they take off. I find I have to be more aggressive with my panning on these kingfishers than the larger birds. They really move on out.
Specific Feedback
In the first two images, I left in the dead branches they are flying between for context. The fourth image is in filtered sun with a mist in the BG.
Any thoughts on these compositions? Looks like I should add some canvas to the left on the second image. The last image was from a considerable distance so I didn’t crop in real tight but wanted to show what these guys are after in the pond.
