Jagdeep, beautiful. I love the soft rim light around the kingfisher. Were you on a hide to capture this? They seem to be one of the shiest birds out there. ---

Hello, Jagdeep. Gorgeous backlight on the Kingfisher. Perch and BG are nice as well. Great work as always. Cheers, Hans ---

I love the back lighting, Jagdeep, particularly the beak. I think you could bring up the face just a touch more without it looking unnatural. Other than that, a wonderful image. ---

Very nice capture. No complaints here. If this type of Kingfisher is as hard to get close to as the Belted Kingfishers are here you really scored! ---

Thanks friends! Adhika: No I wasn’t in a hide, actually this happened to be a favorite perch of courting pair of Small Blue KF and this arrived as a pleasant surprise. 🕶 ---

Really nice capture Jagdeep. Fine details in the shadows caused by the backlighting. I like the glow around the bird. Nice background too. Terrific frame.
