wow this is a super capture I must say, every bit of detail is nice and sharp down to the water droplets, the kingfisher looks great with the nearly all green background which to me stands it right out...

fantastic shot, well done..

as soon as I seen this image I knew it would end up being one of my favourites right from the start, a great capture of a young kingfisher just about to land, great timing and great work ...

well done, I wish I had taken this shot myself..
