Belted Kingfisher

[PixelRabbit]

I had just arrived at the pond to shoot and found this guy fishing, they are pretty darn fast and I only got one go at him as he made his last pass, I was thrilled to get him even if it was through the reeds!

Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks for taking a look!

One of the BIF photos I've seen and really liked was a hawk among a flock of birds. The flock was in the foregeound and the hawk in the bacground but similar dof to your shot so the reeds don't bother me. I'd have preferred to see the bird facing towards the viewer but I appreciate that this was a one chance deal. Other than that I like it!

Nice image. Personally I like "imperfect" photos of tough subjects.
